Ratings and reviews

This app is super fun to track your friends and family because it cuts out where you have been. In addition to this, the texting feature is amazing. It's super customizable and personable. One thing I would like to add as a suggestion, if possible, is to be able to connect any sort of music app, not just Spotify, because personally, I use Deezer and not Spotify. And I know many other people who do too.

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.

this app is really good! you can connect with your friends, it encourages you to explore more with the scratch map and it feels really rewarding. there's only one problem: you can only sync spotify, however some people use other apps like youtube music. if you could add that it would be a really great app!
