Forced paywall

Spent 10 mins trying to get passed the totally “free” app’s endless paywalls. Gave in, tried the trial, and when I canceled boom suck behind paywalls with no access to the app. Not only that, but during my 3 days time you can tell it’s clearly vibe coded. You can completea small circle around an area you are not allowed to cross in real life, yet the app refuses to say you have “captured that space” so it’s physically impossible to actually “explore” an entire city. The concept is such a good idea, with background location capture too was nice. But would rather use any other app to track where I’ve been then pay anything for this.

no free version :/

hate hate hate apps that get you all set up don’t even let you try any features before an unskippable pop up to take your credit card information. great concept great idea in theory wouldn’t know cause I haven’t been able to see it

Not use able

When I start the app is shutting down 👎🏻

Poor live activity practice

Uses live activity to display a promotion in the Dynamic Island. Very annoying and against apple’s guidelines

doesn’t work if you aren’t paying, i mean u won’t even see the map without it

1/10

Finally out of my rut

Finally a reason to get out of my rut, and it was easy. I didn’t expect something this small to make such a big difference, but it genuinely helped me feel motivated again.

How long is this interview??

Downloaded to try but have to field a seemingly infinite number of personal questions before I can even get started.

Hey developers, stop pretending it’s a psych therapy app when it’s a simple map tracking app.

Subscription Required

Enjoyed the free trial but after a bit got locked out and asked to pay for a yearly or monthly plan. I can’t access all my saved places 😭

would give it 0

don’t advertise as free if it’s not free

Actually a waste of time

I answered like 10 questions, did a forced review, and then i couldnt even explore because u need to pay just to do that so overall its just a big waste of time

I deleted it

I got this app so I’d be able to track my steps and see where I go and find new destinations so I started to log into the app and at the end, it was saying that you only get a three day free trial and you have to pay every month, which is not the reason I got the app. I thought this app was gonna be free so if you do not want to not pay every month don’t get the app

If it’s free, you’re the product

Very clearly just an app to collect location data and sell advertising space. The AI generated images and flat, Chat-GPT-esque ‘motivational’ one-liners just makes it feel cheap.

Doesn’t work

Can’t try the app without paying for it, I’m not paying for an app if I can’t at least try it out

Worst app ever

Wont let you even log in or create an account

why thr hell would i pay for this

like

Too expensive

No free version and the value is not worth the price

Don’t

God forbid i want to use an app without accepting some 85% off ‘discount’.

Worth it!

Great app that got me out & about each time I left home! You can tell it’s worth the annual fee. Highly recommend.

Vibecoding final boss

See above

It’s paid

Asks you to review and give it every permission in the world before instantly slapping you in the face with a monthly payment option.
