Ratings and reviews

Really wanted to like this classic product. I like the way it looks. Unfortunately it is very limited in setting options and UI is not as good as Google. Unable to edit my saved places. Went through the process and edited the address in settings, but it does not save. Also I had to enter 4 different verification codes before it actually logged in.

Needs some work. Telling me to remain on the highway when that's literally my only option (unless I want to take off through some corn fields) repeatedly gets annoying. And for some reason it wants me to go several miles out of my way to get to a certain destination. It's very strange. I do love the cute car icon choices and the quest complete message but I'd prefer accuracy in my navigation over adorable UI.

It was a great app before you forcibly upgraded it on me. Hint: if it's not broken, don't fix it. It's virtually impossible to exit out of an ongoing route, leaving the app to run continuously in the background, drain my battery, and constantly sending me icons/messages of my route, which I can't exit out of. I've uninstalled the app, then reinstalled it. To no avail. Go back to the original version. It worked.
