Love the concept and execution, but can’t make it work

I love everything about this app. It has a single well-defined purpose and simple intuitive interface. However, I can’t get it to produce results for me. I keep getting error messages like “invalid direction” and “move x feet away” but the onscreen prompts aren’t enough to get me the expected results. Maybe the interface is not as intuitive as it seems.

Junk!

Zoom doesn't work. Makes it impossible to get maximum accuracy.
