Wicked cool
App is absolutely incredible and in the ultimate method of tracking areas where you explore (better than linear distance like Wandrer.earth and non-tiled apps like Fog of World, which permits weird micro gaps). Unfortunately draws incredible amounts of battery power though.
Really fun
I really enjoy seeing where I have been and unlocking new tiles, being able to show everywhere I have driven is cool. Makes me want to explore my area and go on road trips.
Very well executed (UPDATED)
Reminds me of the polish and pizazz of Advance Wars: Dual Strike, only with (necessarily) better resolution and no real competitive premise other than "have your phone on and go for a hike or ride vehicles for a day, and you will eventually have done that more than some other people who have also downloaded the app." Still, it's very well executed, and probably harmless as long as you can keep your phone charged. Sort of a fun "why not" toy to have, especially if games like CodeRunner and Paraversume are too distracting or involved for you. I noticed that most of the tiles unlocked in my town were done in straight lines that seemed to cross the whole place without turning, and I wonder if that's from spoofers or people riding aircraft. I guess you can't really do anything about the former without joining the (futile) arms race against spoofers. UPDATE: Someone ruined the ability to sign in using Facebook, which seems like a boneheaded maneuver. Logging in with Facebook isn’t the same thing as engaging with a billion fascists on Facebook. It was chiefly useful as a tool for logging into games. Not sure why fewer and fewer games allow it, or why none of them offer a reasonable or practical alternative, but i have to assume that it’s a reversible mistake, so Thickpolicy should reverse theirs as soon as they can.
UPDATE, FEBRUARY 2026: The app crashes more than it works. A patch note from three months ago says this was addressed, but either the solution instantly undid itself or this is a lie. I really don’t want to uninstall something I’ve been using for such a long time, that I began within days of a life milestone I don’t want to honor any less, especially if the developers are still paying attention to it (at least inasmuch as they still exist enough to say they’re paying attention to it).

Fun App
This is a good app to unlock the world. Problem is it is very battery hungry. It chews through the battery and generates alot of heat. This needs to be fixed
Facebook login does not seem to work on new iPhone
I’ve been using this app for years. Sadly having just upgraded to new iPhone I had the need to reauthenticate using my Facebook account but it doesn’t appear to work anymore 😢 Look like my years of travels may be lost forever as the apps not been updated for 2years *sobs*
