### 1/5 — Lack of development

*2025-10-09*

Fantastic idea and, when it behaves, best-in-class. But right now it crashes constantly, especially when editing or even just viewing past location data. At $5/month, I’d expect active development: stability fixes and new feature development (not knocking the developer for lack of current features, just trying to justify $60/year). No matter how rich the feature set, an app that can’t stay open can’t be relied on. Sad!

The app hasn’t been updated in about 8 months. I respect the developer and the work that clearly went into this, but it’s starting to feel like a neglected project. When it works, it’s great!
