User reviews

垃圾

無論網上版和apps都極不穩定,經常登入失敗,介面複雜難用,很多朋友已轉會。無為浪費時間設定好路線到頭來到達起點後開不了apps (已試過無數次)。

Rubbish

Crashes all the time. Useless.

GPS usage is always on. A little buggy with the map routes.

Generally a good app but if you leave the default settings it will always be accessing your GPS over your mobile phone data if you don't turn that off manually. Even if you think you close the app. So watch your mobile data charges.
