Installed for 2 days. Turned on the Eco Mode already. But when I woke up this morning, I found my phone warm and this app drained 40% of the battery over the night. It's totally unacceptable.
I was really excited for this app and used it for a few months, even jumping on on a lifetime membership. But it is a resource hog. Battery is eaten up, it says it tracks multiple days of activity, but if you don't open it and then go explore, it resets your counter. The final blow was asking for more money, even though I signed up for the lifetime membership. It's like every other app out there - they will keep asking you for $$ but little noticable improvement, from my experience
Constantly Crashing. Completely unusable. Crashes within seconds of opening.
The app constantly crashes with the following error: Something went wrong Exception: migration requiest failed: {"result":"failure"} I sent the error logs through the app and also contacted support by email, but received no response at all. Very disappointing experience. An app that crashes regularly is one thing, but completely ignoring user reports is even worse.
Hot Phone, Dead Battery. That about sums it up. I don't really have much to say about the app because it utterly annihilated my battery reserves long before I got much walking in. It seemed promising but unless it can be optimized, heavily, to run cool and lite on the average phone, there's no chance I'll be trying it again.
Asked me to pay for premium twice within 1 minute of opening the app. Battery started draining quickly as well. Terrible experience but was so excited about the concept.
Battery hog. I wasn't even using the app.
Drains battery like crazy even when I am not using it.
app is not responding
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.
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.
barely opens. freezes constantly.
Just an adfarmer app
Every week or so the app undoes my Unlimited purchase and stops tracking my travel
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
can't even use it. logging in with Google doesn't work and creating an account, trying to log in with account it just crashes
cant get past the log in screen. crashing and errors galore
cant log in. i use continue with email "fatal error", i click create new account "email alredy in use"
You can't even get your speedometer correct... when going 16 mph it thinks i'm going like 50+ mph so yeah... no
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
Just cannot use app - after fog loading it freezes and stops working spawning "Not responding" screen.
Deleted immediately after seeing AI slop as the only profile pictures you could use. Very confusing layout
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.
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!
what really is this? Too many 5 🌟 An what is the payment all about really? As in I'm not paying anything. We're in A Cost of Living Crisis & a app asking for money like what the heck 🤔
I needed to uninstall. It was draining battery like crazy. After one hour zero battery on the phone. After uninstall my phone is ok again.
Seems like a fun app but massive battery drain even when on the smart eco GPS mode..
Идея супер, давно искал такое приложение. К сожалению, реализация плохая. Батарею жрет ужасно. В бесплатной версии нельзя сделать почти ничего. И полно багов. Зависает, глючит, тормозит
Very good idea, very bad execution. Big battery drain and constantly missing GPS pings. This is the core functionality of the app and its implementation needs rethinking
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.
great idea but the CONSTANT attempts to get you to upgrade led to me uninstalling.
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.
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
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
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
Gameplay is locked behind a whopping $75 bucks paywall.
