### 1/5 — Not an English-language product

*2012-11-17*

Map labelling is a spotty mix of Chinese with a bit of English, and no Pinyin. 

Zoom in, and English disappears. Zoom out, and the neighbourhood where our hotel is turns blank

Looks like a poor repackaging of the OpenStreetMap database. Useless to me.

### 1/5 — In Chinese.

*2012-08-29*

I found this a waste of time as it is in Chinese characters. Sometimes the pinyin appears but it is random. Not useful. I wrote to ask for help but no response.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2012-03-04*

I thought I would be able to route or type in an address and find it but all this app provides is a literal map. I hope to see updates soon. As of now not worth two dollars.
