Completely paywalled
Misleading Greedy Developers
Paywall
Save your cash
Not that great
Too much money
Should be a free trial
Not free whatsoever, don’t bother
Paid Required
Was purchased on accident
Just a money grab
You can’t do anything in the app, so I can’t even use a free map to see if it’s worth paying for (which it’s not based on other reviews)
Don’t be fooled by its 4 star review, it’s just a cash grab and a gimmick.
Also it asks to review the app before you’ve even used it, always a red flag in my books. How can I review something I’ve never used…
Misleading Variety
Pay pay pay
Good job cool
Need to pay subscription or lifetime unlock for $30?!
Insanely overpriced
Overpriced and useless
Good idea, but the pricing model is not consumer-friendly.
The paywall shown asks for £34.99 per year or £12.99 per month to unlock the full experience. The monthly option works out at £155.88 per year, which is especially difficult to justify when Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze already provide established navigation services without charging users a recurring subscription.
I do not agree with the argument that development and running costs should automatically be passed on to the consumer through an expensive subscription. Those costs are part of operating a business, and it is still the developer’s responsibility to offer enough value for the price being charged. Here, the main selling point appears to be the gaming-style presentation rather than a navigation service that meaningfully replaces the free alternatives.
The app is clearly designed around people’s love of gaming, exploration and nostalgia, but the monetisation feels too dependent on that enthusiasm. A sensible one-off payment, a meaningful free version or a much lower price would be far more reasonable.
There is a genuinely good idea here, but the recurring cost outweighs the practical value. That is why, in its current form, I can only give it one star.
