### 1/5 — Telemetry and data stealing

*2026-07-12, version 2.6*

One of the worst apps when is about telemetry and data collection. They made more money from selling your data to hundreds of vendors and parteners. Not even in the pro version it does not what it suppose to do without selling your data and making you every tine to accept this as a normal thing. Absoluty 0 star. Update after developer contacting me about upper review: And I have to add 3 more things: 1 the website does not have any digital form of contact such as phone or e-mail or a contact form. 2 on the App Store it says that it does not collect data but as soon as you open the app you are asked to confirm that you agree with hundreds of 3rd party vendor cookies which will follow you and track your actions even outside of this app. 3 I think not even the developer did not checked their apps, that review was it formed exactly on the pro version. I mean on this one. And as soon as you open the app you are asked to accept all those 3rd party cookies, so even if later, inside of the app may be (or not) an option to pay for a pro version without 3rd party cookies, just to reach that point you need to go through accepting those cookies, which make impossible to even have a paid version without tracking you everywhere just before to even be able to pay for it. So at that time will be pointless to even pay anymore since you are tracked and your info are stolen / collected and shared with I do not know who and for how long (very long time with very many 3rd party patenerd). So yes, when someone it says is not fair to leave some review like this just thing again about user experience and rebuild your app.

### 1/5 — Man sollte dran arbeiten!

*2026-05-25*

Einmal Koordinaten eingegeben, geht das ganze Programm nicht mehr! Man kann neue eingeben, werden aber nicht angezeigt. Stoppen der Navigation geht leider nicht, er zeigt immer das erste Ziel an. Also wenn es so los geht, würde ich keine Pro kaufen.
