Ratings and reviews

The app fails to start even after 18 hours of downtime. Only throws "there is some error logging you in" ur way without providing step-by-step ways to resolve the issue. A simple Google search tells u people have been posting stopgap measures for this problem since 2021 and the app devs have still yet to address the core problem. For the record, I have done everything to make the app work. Turning on bluetooth & location, syncing the date with the network, etc.

More cons than pros. The idea is good not the implementation. A lot of the information provided is misleading or lie. Like when you are setting up the app you get the option to keep the Bluetooth always on or when your app is on. It says that you can change this in setting later. Trust me you can't. Apart from the option to let other apps access this one & to completely delete the account, there is nothing there. It consumes a lot of battery too even when you disable the bluetooth.

This is an extremely good effort, I just want to suggest that, advertise these type of apps as much as you can, so that most of the person have it installed, only then the efforts will be fruit full. I also want to add that some smartphone makers use aggressive background app killer, so I have noticed that the app is not able to operate in background, if mobile is on standby mode( when screen is off) after 20-30 minutes, If any solution you can make it will be more beneficial.
