Doesn’t work

This app gets stuck on checking for updates. Pretty useless and a waste of time.

Doesn’t work

Tried to use in Chicago at the 360, says checking for updates and goes black and does nothing.

Chicago doesn’t work

When selecting Chicago, it says “checking for updates” and then doesn’t do anything else.

Paris seemed to work fine, though, so I guess it might be nice in that city.

Horrible app.

Got to top of Chicago 360, started to download the app and it took about 30 minutes.

Went to open it, and it froze several times on “checking for updates”

When it finally did start to update, that also was taking forever.

Is this even a real app?
Or something mining my phone….

Don’t download it.
