To find or not to find? That is the question.

This app is great, in that it help me find particular/specific places and the distances from where i am which associated with key words I typed into search. Also let me add, after clicking the link available, i was taking to a screen giving me a google map and options to save the places name and number straight into my contacts with one hotkey onscreen. Keep up the good work. 10/10 😃😃😃

Average

It would be useful if I was totally lost but doesn't show results for all of the type of businesses being searched for, eg for supermarkets and petrol stations it only brings up 2 companies out of the 4-5 located in the area. For movie theaters I only get one in Chicago which is 13,000km away. For theaters I didn't get any actual theaters listed, just drama schools. It was ok finding cafes, restaurants, bars and hotels though

Augmented reality

Awesome app., just not to sure if it has augmented reality or not an if so for some reason I can't seem to get it to work on my phone., but would still recommend the app to buy an use., thanks for creating it d:)

Not Good Enough

I live in New Zealand on the Hibiscus Coast north of Auckland. This app simply does not have enough detail to make it helpful to me. For example when searching for gas stations it tells me that the nearest one is 36kms away. There are 2 gas stations in my town which have been there for years and at least 20 I could name within 15kms. Similar things happen for other catagories. Sorry but I am going to delete the app.

Pretty nice little addon

Such a wonderful little addon brings you easy connection to major hotpot and other wifi enabled spots. However it does a very limit job on finding spots that may benefit you at most. Not because the wireless connection takes charge over tradition map but because it can only do this much and no more.

This app barks like a dog

As my fellow Kiwis have said, this app is next to useless in NZ. Maybe we aren't using google maps as much as the rest of the world?
Yellow pages app leaves this for dead & the native iMaps app on iPad is more useful than this app.
The one star rating is just so I can send the review. Maybe the graphics deserve a star but I think we should be able to select a zero rating for apps that don't work in our part of the world.

Review by Anthony Reid

This app is actually quite good and helpful in some cases, however it is lacking with information. You should also consider an update for categorizing distances from your location.. For instance when I only want something that is 2km, or 6km away, then block out the rests that don't matter.

Functions well but lacks data

This app works really well. I cant fault the functionality. It does lack data though. Its missing many places around my area. Makes me wonder what else im missing in other areas im not familiar with

Super handy.

I use this lots when trying to find something nearby. Usually use the search function.
Some notes for improvement:
Allow you to correct the spelling of previous search item. If you make a mistake or want to add words to the previous search then you must type the whole thing again.

helpful, good app but not perfect... yet

•it's helpful wen I'm away from home. good for finding restaurants/eaterys etc. •just needs website info (if available/applicable).
•I find that it asks me to calibrate more than usual.
•sometimes it picks up more than 1 location when I'm searching for places around me, eventhough I haven't moved. for example, I open the app & it says I'm in 'glenella rd, batehaven' & if I close it & open it again, it says I'm in 'batemans bay'. the problem with this is that it changes the 'places' around me on both searches, which is annoying.

apart from that, it's good
