Good app

Does what it say but my gripe is with the business side of the app. I became aware of this app from a web page stating apps gone temporarily free. No it’s not. Originally £1.99 you now have to pay £2.99 to unlock features and remove ads. You got your web page review under false pretences, it’s clearly not free.

Map view?

I purchased the upgrade to get the Map View. But the Map button does nothing. Was this a scam?

Worthless

Always flat lines everywhere and anyway I try to use it.

Works Very Well

Didn't expect too much when I downloaded it, but is actually quite accurate. Would spike when I turned my lamp on and off, and went crazy when next to me neodymium magnet. Just use airplane mode to get rod of ads.
