Ratings and reviews

Yet another app that just scraped information off the internet with zero fact checking (full of blatant errors), no curation (so many places not worth going out of your way to see), and photos that don't corresponde to the text. Editors serve a purpose, but I guess they cut into the bottom line for these app factories. I'm shocked Le Parisien included it, a friend of the publisher's ?

The idea is so great. But. The localisation feature was really poor during my journey : the app located me somewhere in the city (London in my case) but never precisely, and even when I was moving, the blue dot remains in the same place... So I couldn't really used the app.

I should probably give it a four star rating because there is some (Google) third party tracking, but because it is an app that does exactly what it is supposed to do, and well; and the fact that the only thing that wasn't working 100% was the navigation bar was getting squished and they have fixed it, the five star stays.
