User reviews

North Tactician

This app has lots of bugs. The small amount of documentation that is provided is difficult to understand. North does not respond to questions. Support is nonexistent.

Has significant 'bug'

Great concept but, App locks up requiring smart phone shut down. NEEDS WORK!!

Looks interesting but crashes

This looks interesting but when I try clear all the data it crashes. Maybe it's because I put in a mark as the first entry as I don't seem to able to delete that manually either
