### 1/5 — Very Poor

*2021-07-06, version 9.1*

This app is by far the worst I have purchased. Walking round Belfast it didn’t even have the main tourist locations plus the descriptions we very hit and miss sometimes saying there was an issue displaying the page!! Usability is horrific and really struggled to home in on item I wanted to view.  Paid for it and deleted same day don’t waste your money!!

### 1/5 — Dont waste your money

*2018-12-13, version 7.0*

The app cuts out when using... it freezes up and goes dark screen when you don’t want it to
