### 1/5 — Ruined by ads

*2021-07-18*

Honestly, the UI leaves a lot to be desired but the ads ruin it. Why? I have 4 apps on the store - little ones - and they are free. This isn’t worth money. But, if you think it is - and Google Maps does it for free - then charge for it. This is just a poor user experience.
