### 1/5 — Gives bad routes and app keeps force closing

*2022-12-26, version 8.0.1*

The app gives bad routes that add way too much time then it should and keeps force closing on me. I’d rather use another app.

### 1/5 — A headache!

*2020-02-06, version 8.0.1*

Too high tech build for 100 years in the future!

### 3/5 — Needs Work

*2018-12-17, version 8.0.1*

Maps are nice but any annotations of facilities adjoining roads black no on and off constantly. Very annoying no way to turn them off.

### 1/5 — APP WILL NOT LANSCAPE

*2018-03-03, version 6.3.9*

THIS APP WILL NOT OFFER SETTING FOR LANDSCAPE VIEW

### 1/5 — 5$??

*2017-03-18, version 6.1.2*

Very hard to use. No directions. Lock of instruction make this very difficult to use. 
Free version appears to be the same as the 5$ version.

### 5/5 — Excellent app..

*2015-02-19, version 3.0.2*

Easy to find the location

### 1/5 — New user

*2015-01-06, version 3.0.2*

Somewhat disappointed because the app provides no operating instructions. Additionally the write up on the APP store states the app will provide route maps, couldn't make that feature work.
