Fixed an issue with determining your address introduced with iOS 4.3.3 Now if reverse address recognition fails the app does not crash, but will not show your address. Other minor safety checks in the code to prevent crashes.

Not compatible with iOS 11.

This app works very well until iOS 11 came out. The person who made this app. needs to update it to be compatible with iOS 11. Until then, only one star.

Poor Use

If you have an iPhone, don’t up date to the latest otherwise you won’t be able to use this app. I have found this out. Like with some other apps as well......

Gets the job done

Works fine on my iPhone SE. Gets the job done. Unsure why others are complaining about the app not being updated.
