And you cannot look at an address or search in a map and choose what you want to see. You have to basically want to spy on someone using their phone for location. I wanted to look at a property I own in another state and see the goings on in the neighborhood around jy property real time. Can’t do that. And that is what they advertise. I’m DELETING IMMEDIATELY **Developer response:** We are deeply sorry for the unsatisfactory experience. Thank you for sharing your feedback, which we have documented.

But in the advertisement I saw buildings in real time. More to see on the commercial. And of course I haven’t paid for the premium version. I will try it. I hope there is more to it.
