I thought it would let be lookup squares but it only does current location.
What this app does do, it does extremely well. It gives you your grid location down to the full 8 characters of precision. The map only displays 6 chars and only displays your grid and the 8 that surround it. There’s no way to search for someone else’s grid locator to easily see where they’re making contact from.
This is one of those “does one thing and does it right” apps. My only suggestion for improvement is to add more contrast so it can be used outdoors. The display uses white font on a pale blue background, which makes it almost impossible to read in daylight.
