### 4/5 — To get to work again

*2025-07-04*

Remove the app but not the subscription and go to App Store  and  reload from there

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-09-22*

Said there was a one week free trial. Tried it once and cancelled the next day. The LSD on this thing had me 4 miles away from where I needed to be. Cancelled purchase. No Refund. Developers refused to refund. Scam artists plain & simple.. Hope you choke on the $$ you stole..

### 2/5 — Help

*2023-11-17*

I’m having issues with the app not loading or even opening on my new phone. How can I get this resolved? I’ve had a subscription for probably over 5 years. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — 7 day free trial is fake

*2023-10-20*

Tried this app out, subscribed today to “7 day free trial” was charged as soon as i clicked on the it…would like a refund.

### 1/5 — Very poor

*2021-09-27*

After over a month of using. The last three days I get zero. Will not upload.  If I delete and reopen I’ve lost all of the information that I have recorded 
So far has been a waste of time

### 1/5 — Gagan chandel

*2020-02-06*

When I will get my refund back..I don’t like the app and just uninstalled it in 5 min

**Developer response:** Hi Gagan, Did you cancel the subscription from the AppStore? Go to AppStore -> Account -> Subscriptions. 
Merely uninstalling the app won’t remove the subscription. If you cancel the subscription within 7 days you wouldn’t be charged at all. Thanks for trying it out!

### 5/5 — Best app for Oilfield directions and well specific info

*2019-11-16*

A real app that works for you.  Accurate directions for the real world roads used in the field.  Great app and extension to the GPS version of PatchMaps.
