Ratings and reviews

The permissions this app requires are invasive as hell. You can't access your gallery for your profile until you show them your face, the app requires you to have your location on at all times rather than just when the app is open (which is unnecessarily strict), and insists on changing my battery settings in my phone for performance every time I open the app. Functionally fine, but absolutely ridiculous.

Hello! I would like to give some suggestions for this app. First of all, we really need a clear view with no obstacles between us and the map so that we can feels comfortable viewing the maps, so maybe you can add some kind of button we can use to disable certai UI. Moreover, i think it's best if we can share something on the map such as pictures and messages, only if we want to view them from friends or people who publicly shares it. Thus, this app would feels more alive wouldn't it?

does it's job, but very annoying that you can't turn off or see anything when people send you stickers. It literally covers your whole screen and prevents you from seeing your friends's location, sometimes at important times, and sometimes even crashes my phone after 4000 stickers. But my main problem is that my friends deleted the app and I could still see their location, that's hella creepy
