User reviews

Could be great

I understand watermarks are necessary, but this is a crazy amount. I can't see anything. Everything is blurry and what's recognizable has a watermark over it. So basically I can't see anything. Too bad- this has awesome potential. Just not there yet.

App doesn’t work

Downloaded and all I get is an error message that it can’t verify its version. Adding for posterity, based on their dated website UI with ads littered all over like it’s 2006, and an attitude of “how are we supposed to function without ads,” I have zero faith they can improve. You can have ads and make it a good experience for the user.

Buggy ads, pop up ads, garbage app

App is genuinely unusable in its current state, I’ve updated to the latest version and l just keep running into more issues, it’s so frustrating

Ads are terrible and can't zoom much

Just use the website this app needs more refinement and maybe some sponsors so they don't force ads that say my phone is infected. I also can't zoom in close enough. And screen shots are disabled to zoom in that way. Basically can't use this app for now . Can't wait for the bugs to get worked out though!

Copyright material?

Why can I not take a screen shot without the screen going black? Nothing here is copy righted as you can find all maps at your local courthouse….
