Can you read maps? We can't either. Waaaaay! is a ridiculously simple navigation app for the directionally challenged. It shows exactly two things: the direction to your destination and the remaining distance. Walk where the arrow points, and you will get there eventually. No map reading required. ■ This app is for you if... - You open a map app and still have no idea which way to start walking - "Head northeast" means nothing to you - You get lost the moment you step out of a station ■ How it works: 3 steps 1. Search for a place (stations, convenience stores and cafes are one tap away) 2. The arrow points toward your destination 3. Walk that way. That's it! ■ Features - Arrow navigation showing only direction and distance (compass mode) - Check your position and destination on a map (map mode) - Place search, search history, and favorites - Set a destination from a place URL copied in another app - Remaining distance on your Lock Screen (Live Activity) - A mysterious upgrade that turns the arrow into a fish (why? we don't know either) ■ Notes - Due to how GPS works, your location may drift indoors. See "About Location" in the app for details - Premium Search (a monthly subscription) boosts search accuracy Questions or ideas? Contact us from the app. The dev team will reply from under their blankets. ■ Subscription - Premium Search (monthly, auto-renewing) - Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ - Privacy Policy: https://waaaaay.com/privacy.html
