📄️ ArcGIS Field Maps
ArcGIS Field Maps by Esri is a popular GIS app. Unfortunately it does not have a built in NTRIP Client to allow high precision corrections down to the RTK device. To enable high-precision, a mock location and an intermediary app such as GNSS Master or Lefebure is needed.
📄️ ArcGIS QuickCapture
ArcGIS QuickCapture by Esri is a popular GIS app. Unfortunately it does not allow Bluetooth connections to 3rd party RTK devices. To enable a connection to a SparkFun RTK device, a mock location and an intermediary app such as GNSS Master or Lefebure is needed.
📄️ ArcGIS Survey123
ArcGIS Survey123 by Esri is a popular GIS app. Unfortunately it does not allow Bluetooth connections to 3rd party RTK devices. To enable a connection to a SparkFun RTK device, a mock location and an intermediary app such as GNSS Master or Lefebure is needed.
📄️ Diamond Maps
Diamond Maps is a great solution for utilities and municipalities. $20/month GIS software with many great features. Get the Android app here.
📄️ Field Genius
Field Genius for Android is another good solution, albeit a lot more expensive than free.
📄️ GNSS Master
GNSS Master is a great utility when a given GIS app does not have an NTRIP Client or a way to connect over Bluetooth. GNSS Master connects to a RTK device over Bluetooth (or Bluetooth BLE) as well as any correction source (NTRIP, PointPerfect, even USB Serial), and then acts as the phone's location using Mock Location.
📄️ Lefebure
Lefebure NTRIP Client is the original app for getting correction from an NTRIP caster and down over Bluetooth. It's an oldie but a goodie.

📄️ SW Maps
The best mobile app that we’ve found is the powerful, free, and easy-to-use SW Maps by Softwel. It is compatible with Android and iOS, either phone or tablet with Bluetooth. What makes SW Maps truly powerful is its built-in NTRIP client. This is a fancy way of saying that we’ll be showing you how to get RTCM correction data over the cellular network.
📄️ Vespucci
Vespucci is an Open Street Map editor for Android.
📄️ Enable Mock Location
Most GIS applications will gracefully handle the Bluetooth connection to the RTK device and provide an NTRIP Client for getting the RTCM corrections so this section can be skipped. If, in the rare case, a GIS app does not allow NTRIP corrections, Mock Locations can be enabled under Android. Then a data provider like Lefebure or GNSS Master can be used to act as a middle-man.
