Smoother map with Night context on, and you can long-press to pin a spot right through the shading. Typing a note no longer hides behind the keyboard. The recenter button now zooms in close to where you are. Get help now lists Egypt’s helpline for women, 15115 from the National Council for Women.

- sigh - smh

Open it. Does nothing. Checked to ensure location access permission. Reinstalled twice. Finally returned here, to check other apps by this dev. Uniform rating: abysmal. My suggestion: ruuuuuun away. Useful only for showing someone a concrete example of “gross incompetence”

Response from developer

I’m sorry RFYL didn’t open for you, and thank you for telling me. That’s a real bug, and I want to fix it. RFYL is a free app made by one person to help people know what’s happened somewhere before they go. “Gross incompetence” is a hard thing to read, but a broken launch on your device is on me either way. If you can spare a minute, which iPhone and iOS version are you on? Email contact@thebadlemon.com or go to thebadlemon.com/rfyl, and I’ll reply personally. If you’re willing to try again once it’s fixed, I’ll let you know when the update ships.
