Rough around the edges

I'v read and accept.

In the initial agreements, oops, lots of spelling errors in the help too.

Very buggy when adding other radio users. Almost impossible to add using their ID.

Offline maps limit is ridiculously small. Let's you select an area with it being too large too.

Please fix the map download.

Bluetooth can’t pair at all. Must use app for pairing.

With current IOS and new phone their app doesn’t want to pair. Tried two different devices. My guess is no one looks at bugs.

App works great! Not sure about bad rating.

I tried this with my brother in preparation of a cruise ship. After a little trouble pairing, the app works fantastically! I hope they continue to develop it.

To limited offline map size

The offline map file size is way too restricted. Even the upper circle of the Yellowstone map already exceeds the limit, which makes it really hard to keep track of my friends during the trip.
