Very slow , too much advertising

Very slow , too much advertising

Content ok but terrible performance

Very slow, laggy app. Takes forever to load info, keeps freezing. Also often can’t find addresses in Korean or English. Good for transit info though. Only using it because google maps doesn’t fully work in Korea

좌측스와이프 비활성화로 돌리세요

경로찾기 모드에서 좌측 스와이프시 초기화되는 기능
없애세요... 지도 보다가 자꾸 꺼지잖아요

Most services require a Korean phone number

App feels slow, delivery services require Korean phone number

Sehr laggy und buggy

Wirklich eine der schlimmsten Karten Apps die ich genutzt habe. Es hakt wie Sau teils brechen Routen ab. Wenn man Apple Karten oder Google Maps gewöhnt ist ist das hier eine Katastrophe.
