Ratings and reviews

Previously a good app. Not updated in years, and worse still a lot of names that used to be there are now gone. Totally useless unless you live on the island and go nowhere. Rubbish

The app barely covers a quarter of the popular addresses in Hong Kong. It's particularly useless for addresses outside of HK Island. Complete waste of time and money. I'd like my money back!

The version is stuck at 1.1 since 2013 for Android while it is the version 3.0 available for iPhone. A lot of streets are missing. Very disappointed.
