### 1/5 — Schade…

*2024-08-07*

In der Beschreibung steht was von Dänemark. Die Auflösung ist jedoch zu gering und die Positionserfassung funktioniert nicht. Sehr schade. Ich hätte etwas genauer schauen sollen, bevor ich die 2€ investiert habe. Leider unbrauchbar. 😕

### 1/5 — Nordic Radar

*2016-01-18*

App absolut unbrauchbar. Stürzt permanent bereits beim Start ab. Funktioniert weder auf iPad noch auf iPhone.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2012-06-20*

I'll try it out when I go to Norway (currently in UK) as maybe there's something I'm not getting, but the data supplied is only for up to one hour ahead.  I thought it would be a good app for planning hill-walks but it adds precisely nothing. Save your money! If it works better on the ground I'll update my feedback.UPDATE it doesn't!
