### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2022-04-30, version 1.38*

No longer working!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-01-18, version 1.38*

I just paid the restore fee and the app is not working for me still even after turning off iPad several times.

### 1/5 — No street view?

*2021-03-05, version 1.38*

Street view is why I got this app. I’ve used the street view before on another persons tablet so I know this works.  Please fix!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-01-11, version 1.38*

Doesn’t work on my iPad mini.?.

### 1/5 — Great app needs a fix

*2021-01-02, version 1.38*

I love this app. It’s very easy to use. For some reason when I click on a street the street view picture says “oops something went wrong”. It just started happening. I don’t know why, but if it can be fixed that would be great!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-02-20, version 1.38*

The best so far.

### 4/5 — assadiq@icloud

*2019-09-02, version 1.38*

Why does mine say oops something went wrong? What should I do about this?

### 3/5 — Live street view

*2019-08-25, version 1.38*

The street view doesn’t show, or the live street picture hasn’t been seen for a long time. Once in a blue it will pop up late at night and then the next day or time I put it on especially during the day that I need it the most to check an address of a place I need to go the street view picture is blank. I keep asking why it does this. I can’t understand what’s the problem. It’s very annoying. May I please know why this keeps happening?

### 1/5 — No Longer Works

*2019-08-21, version 1.38*

I loved this app because you could go up and down streets to know a new area before getting there. However, now it always says “oops something went wrong” - every time!

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2019-07-30, version 1.38*

You can no longer view the street view anymore. No matter where you go, if you try to do street view, and error message appears saying “Oops something went wrong!”

The whole point of the app is to see street view and doesn’t work. Please update.
