User reviews

Run away

This is possibly the worst app around. It has about 60 sets of lights that on an iPad are miles away. By the time you zoom in to test yourself! It has displayed the answer multiple times. There are icons on the top of the screen that block the vessel lights being identified.

Maybe this works well on android or some other platform but it is pretty disappointing on an iPad.

Certainly not beneficial to me - erasing it after a disappointing 15 minutes.
