Unable to link with Google drive, please fix it.
Completely stopped working and now all progress is lost
too expensive and google drive linking doesn't work
This is advertised with a 90 day money back guarantee. I tried it for a day and the tracking was so spotty that I do not think the app is worth it. I attempted to get a refund through google play and was denied.
this app should be amazing but it never works. rarely does it record in the background and will miss chunks of territory if you don't leave your app and phone open. now you can't even see the map just your routes on a grey background. for an app that charges you you'd think they'd get these bugs figured out. the idea is phenomenal but execution is terrible. I hope to change my rating to a 5 if they can fix these things otherwise it's just wasted money.
App worked great fora While but now it no longer works unless you have the app open and the screen on. No longer records in the background properly despite ensuring all battery saving measures are disabled.
一直當機，因此沒有紀錄到很多地方。
App drains battery when travelling. It has also been frequently crashing. App developer has been unresponsive to a refund request email even though they state they will refund within 30 days of purchase, no questions asked.
不支持侧滑返回手势！
Fog doesn't always work, have to zoom carefully until it shows up and then can't move the map or the fog will disappear. It's the whole point of the app so it's a shame it doesn't work. The app will also glitch and tracks will be inaccurate sometimes, and there is no way to erase incorrect lines, so you'll have random lines going through buildings or lakes sometimes. Fix the fog, make it show up consistently, or the app is totally pointless.
Not what I expected at all. I was thinking this app would cover the world in fog or clouds which uncover in real time as you explore the world with this app open. This is basically Google maps minus the directions. DO NOT PAY FOR THIS APP!
Super disappointed. After the first day of installation, it doesn't track me anymore. I made sure to hit the record button, but nothing. Total waste of money on a garbage app with a 2014 interface.
Bought this app and it doesn't work.. refund please.
I use to love this app. I have had it for over 5 years. I used it when it was free and it seemed to work better then. I really wish it would work correctly. It always says Gps signal low. I cant figure out how to add tracks manually but honestly don't think I should have to if I'm laying for an app. I am a truck driver and have lost so many tracks. I am on level 406 but should be much farther. I tried to email the company and no answers. I really want to love this again...
明明就沒有關地圖，每天也都有看到狀態列有記錄中的圖示，結果環島的軌跡全部都沒有記錄到！
The battery consuming is so quick that I couldn't bear that. I don't recommend to buy this app until the developer make significant changes to the battery consuming behavior.
it doesn't track anything even if it's open.
The app fails to record tracks in the background. It closes unexpectedly, is slow and glitchy, and an overall angering experience for $9.99. -Edit: Not a Chinese phone. Tried your "solutions". 1 star stands.
bad experiece for android phone. when I lock my phone, fog of world stop teacing my path.
It is a fun app, but be careful and make sure your auto sync is on. You can randomly lose data and you can only recover what you've syncd. EDIT: After about a month of using this app, it fails to open.
When it works it's a great app, but it 'quits unexpectedly ' several times a day, and nothing seems to fix it.
Absolutely abysmal GPS tracking. There are huge gaps in the traces that it records. The entire app is slow and less than 30fps. Just generally overpriced garbage that I wish I hadn't spent money on. The only redeeming quality is that I can import GPX traces, but that's not nearly gold enough.
The app no longer tracks in the background. It needs to be open, or it won't work. Its frustrating because I ppaida lot for this app and want to love it , but I can't.
Cool but very hit and miss. I take my dog on the same walk everyday. It took 5 separate walks to uncover the entire walk
Great, fun app, but still doesn't have an export function. This is the only major downside. It would be nice not to have your data locked in a proprietary file format when you've paid for an app.
Great idea, but this requires a huge amount of battery to work and will not record on lower battery settings. It also opens itself randomly while I am on other apps. I would like it a lot if it were not for these things, but I need to uninstall it instead.
Its alright, sorta does what its supposed to. Random dots of explored show up on my map sometimes though, its relatively near to where I've been but it's in the middle of a woods that I've never been in. Also sometimes it will randomly stop recording where ive been for about 100 feet then pick back up, and I will have to go back and manually add in the data. If these items were fixed Id give it 5 stars, exactly what I wanted, but I expect perfection for $15. Had this been free Id also give 5/5
This app worked great at first but now it isnt recording anything at all. Recording mode is on and locked yet it did not cover a single portion of my trip. Did a new update break this?
its very cool. but i think the "exploration circle" is just too small. not beeing able to discover my whole neighbourhood because i can't just walk into random peoples backyards is highly unsatisfying. (i have already set it to "thick")
