Ratings and reviews

App is functional, but that's about it. Can't change the currency it decides to convert to, the option is in the settings but you just can't interact with it. The map is so bad it's laughable, you can't navigate it without it changing to any other location it chooses, and even when you don't touch it, it sometimes teleports you to another miner nowhere near where you were on the map. All around horrible experience, slow, buggy and frustrating to use.

In general, the app is okay from a navigational point of view, but even this is not intuitive and takes some time to get around. What is really troubling, is that the discovery mode has never worked for as long as I have had this from the first version to the current one. Every time I hit the discovery mode button apparently a signal goes out but they're never any hot spots that respond. The number is always zero. When I go to check the witnesses though there is a non-zero number, like 14

This app and it's online counter part are ok. One day it'll be fast and pull up your hotspot and provide you the data quickly and some days like RIGHT NOW, it still hasn't pulled my information into the app nor the their online explorer and it's been literally 10 minutes. They need to really focus on the UI and provide better information like graphs for growth, what do they consider a day (what time zone). And discovery mode seems to always have backend issues.
