Not as accurate as other apps

My son has another app that was more accurate, better graphics, and much cheaper. We ended up using his app.

I love this app!

Doesn’t work long

Bought in 2020 had to offload app to do update and never worked after that .Contacted developer several times through email and on Facebook and got nowhere. It was nice when it worked when I got it in the winter but never was able to use on water Hope everyone else has better luck. I know it’s been a long time but it still irks me enough to write this now
