Ratings and reviews

Shortly after creating an account, it was suspended because of a "suspicious sign-up attempt". The only "suspcious" thing about my sign-up is that I am in the United Kingdom, not Korea. It's also not possible to contact Kakao to request the suspension is lifted. Totally rubbish and paranoid attitude! The other major Korean mapping company did the same thing.

great app. Its really cool you can see live positions of metro trains and during cherry blossom season it shows blossom locations and whether they are buds or blossoms on the map. Navigation is also pretty good.

Why do I suddenly have to agree to a location usage agreement? I do not allow any app to track me. Good thing I have photographic memory and don't need a map often...just want to check bus arrival times which I can do elsewere.
