### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-07-09*

You can’t see what you need to, the menu bar, in the app because it is covered by an ad. And of course, you can pay extra to have all the ads removed.  Don’t do it, app isn't that great.

### 5/5 — Great App! Needs more users!

*2017-05-08*

This app has the potential to be very useful when hoping to avoid pothole ridden roads. It appears that I am the only one in the United States using it, but if more people download it, a lot of data could be collected very quickly. I hope the app is successful.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much! We will be grateful for any suggestions for improving the application!
