Promising but…

Just reinstalled the app now it has CarPlay. Sadly it freezes and refuses to work in CarPlay I’d added three ‘favourites’ then chose one. The button flashed blue but nothing changed. The same for all the other controls in the app. Just stayed frozen.
Update:
Tried it again for a trip to Cornwall and there’s no improvement. Completely hangs while searching. Deleted again.

Can’t use, my car isn’t in the database. Still not in db despite the response saying it’s added!

As per title, the Renault Scenic isn’t available. Hardly a niche motor!

Not great, buy one of the big ones like ABRP/ZapMap

1. My address is not known, even the whole area. The house has been here for over 15 years…. Sort it out! No excuse for this! And yes my address has been in Apple Maps for 10 plus years so stop being lazy and blaming Apple!

2. Car database …. Shoddy and needs a major update and keeping updated! Again no excuse for this! Why should I have to email you… this is a basic fundamental you need to sort!

3. Crashes when you try to update the database…. Poor code quality, sort out your testing

4. Routing - pretty good, implementation of selecting stops doesn’t update the route. Makes the app pretty pointless and the routing is painfully slow.

5. User interface- not great needs more work

6. Value for money …. A complete waste of money. How do I get a refund! This app is useless
