★★★★★ "I like the idea, but 10% battery drain on a 15 min walk is not sustainable, find a fix and I'll try it again. Other mapping programs do not experience that level of drain." - Matt Sutton

★★★★ Asmer Mlaćo 4/7/2026 v3.0.140
Battery hog. I wasn't even using the app.
★★★★ Pavol Hejný 4/3/2026
Drains battery like crazy even when I am not using it.
★★★★ Zaki Indomie 4/1/2026
app is not responding
★★★★ Pepeijndhoven 2/7/2026 v3.0.084
sections aren't working properly anymore
★★★★ SRT1212 CouchGuy 2/4/2026 v3.0.084
I like this app but it crashes way too much and take 20-40 minutes not responding while not keeping track of what you've explored. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS APP YESTERDAY!! Also if you exit and re-enter the app you lose all your experience you've earned. For how much you pay for premium this needs to be fixed ASAP.
★★★★ Joe Black 2/1/2026 v3.0.084
It just doesn't work. The app is up and running, GPS is on (tried both eco and power modes), but nothing is happening. My pointer moves across the map, but the fog doesn't open.
★★★★ Max Sperlich 1/20/2026 v3.0.069
barely opens. freezes constantly.
★★★★ Lucas Soares 1/14/2026
Just an adfarmer app
★★★★ Corey Vaughan 1/2/2026
Every week or so the app undoes my Unlimited purchase and stops tracking my travel
★★★★ Richard Whelan 1/2/2026 v3.0.069
im trying to launch the app but it force closes after the email login page, I want to try this app as it looks fun and if fixed I will amend the review. devs any idea? I have a s24 ultra
★★★★ bulsy 93 1/1/2026 v3.0.069

★★★★ Corey Holman 12/31/2025

★★★★ Dawid Fajke 12/30/2025
cant log in. i use continue with email "fatal error", i click create new account "email alredy in use"
★★★★ Curtis McIntosh 12/24/2025 v3.0.069
You can't even get your speedometer correct... when going 16 mph it thinks i'm going like 50+ mph so yeah... no
★★★★ Sky 12/10/2025 v3.0.054
It hasn't been working for a few weeks, it crashes right after opening, despite being up to date. I found it useful to map places I've been to, but to be fair I've never figured out how and what to use all the other options and gimics for, so even when it was working it was meh
★★★★ Petr Ivanov 12/4/2025 v3.0.028
Just cannot use app - after fog loading it freezes and stops working spawning "Not responding" screen.
★★★★ misery_fell 11/25/2025
Deleted immediately after seeing AI slop as the only profile pictures you could use. Very confusing layout
★★★★ Timon Novak 11/22/2025 v3.0.028
u have to pay for everything... like paying to change ur profile photo is crazy. i uninstalled immediately after seing that, it tells me all i need to know about the app... its primary concern is getting u to buy premium not to deliver a good experience.
★★★★ pinkki jive 11/19/2025 v2.9.012
Third update. For the love of all that is holy, get better coders to work on this!! I love this app so much, but I cannot currently get it to even open. It just keeps crashing nonstop, re-install didn't work, nothing works. I cannot let it have full battery access cause it won't let my phone go to sleep and the battery will be dead by morning, I can feel it heating up my phone and it just gets stuck on an endless bug loops and gets "not responding" errors forever. Unusable!
★★★★ filthy stinky possum 11/15/2025 v3.0.028
app completely stopped working
★★★★ katie I'm 11/5/2025
no free trial. impossible even to start the app without the annoying pop-up subscription screen
★★★★ master dent 11/1/2025
really bad app, will bombard you with "your going to fast! upgrade to premium" if your in a car, even if you click off, it will just pop up again, if you dont buy premium, you most likely will never even get top 10k in the leaderboard.
★★★★ David Fogg 10/26/2025
Decent idea but ruined by nagging for premium, and there not being much point to it.
★★★★ nivixis nivixis 9/27/2025 v2.9.141
paid for membership and just one week after it did nit recorded my lingest trip, just uninstalling it.
★★★★★ Matt Sutton 3/16/2026 v3.0.132
I like the idea, but 10% battery drain on a 15 min walk is not sustainable, find a fix and I'll try it again. Other mapping programs do not experience that level of drain.
★★★★★ Jack Stewart 3/8/2026 v3.0.123
great idea but the CONSTANT attempts to get you to upgrade led to me uninstalling.
★★★★★ Daniel 2/14/2026
This was exactly the app I was looking for. I travel a lot for work and have always wanted to see not just where I've been, but also the roads I've been on. I was very disappointed to come home from a brief drive to see sporadic dots instead of clear lines, I thought my phone had lost signal despite Waze working perfectly fine, and then discovered that over 30mph it stops tracking? Not a bug it seems, but locked behind a pay wall! A £50 pay wall! I'd pay maybe a tenner for an app like this.
★★★★★ Ben Freeman 12/29/2025 v3.0.069
good concept but doesn't let you keep your steak alive even when you do a 14 mile loop I've used this app for 11 days and lost my streak yesterday after completing 14 miles in mainly fogged area
★★★★★ K. Craig 12/19/2025 v3.0.069
GPS is off. im doing 30 to 31 in a car and its telling me im doing 50. so most of my map isnt open cuz its not picking it up
★★★★★ Lico! 12/4/2025 v3.0.028
The idea of the app is great, but there are AI generated images everywhere. I'd rather have some amateur graphics than those ugly monstrosities
★★★★★ Cliff Neo 11/22/2025 v3.0.028
Gameplay is locked behind a whopping $75 bucks paywall.
★★★★★ Joshua Liley 9/6/2025
Doesn't really work, just went to play football and have a meal out, didn't pick up either trip even though I had the setting turned on (it worked on a previous day). Free version is limited to travel under 30kph which is fair enough but a bit annoying, especially if it's not going to work properly once you've paid for it (fortunately I did not pay but I was certainly close to). All POIs around me are filled with spam reviews of people plugging their Xbox accounts. This could be good but not yet
