Ratings and reviews

This app causes my Device care app to show the message "Some apps or processes are overloading the system (CPU) and need to be closed." When I click on the error, this app is listed along with its CPU usage. I received a system message stating the system was overloaded and an app needed to be closed. It was this app. I've never received that system message for any other app. I haven't used it for travel yet.

I drove from rosenberg to Springfield Missouri and didn't earn nothing,my only gripe.Thanks for explaining still love the app

Bike route options are ridiculous, worse than Google Maps. I like the comfort rating (read: safety) of different bike routes but why not suggest the safest options like White Oak/Buffalo Bayou Bike trails to get downtown? You can get from Stude Park to City Hall all by bike trails but this is not an option in the app. Developer says safest routes provided but not true. Search slow. "Balanced" Driving routes consistently provide faster ETA's than "Shortest Time" driving routes.
