Ratings and reviews

Just downloaded from a YouTube ad (first time ever - great job on the ad!) and have to say it looks really cool! I like that it appears to be brief summaries so it's a quick highlight you can read while walking.. the poetry aspect is unexpected but I could see that being very nice and I love the idea of making poetry more accessible and relatable in daily life! I really hope they expand to other locations - Niagara would be awesome! Well done to the team who created this!

App wants full location permission. Does not seem to work with 'only while app is open' . Developers, please understand. I never, ever, ever, ever, ever want to hear even a fricking peep from an application I am not using. Let me turn it on and use it on my terms or don't expect me to use it at all.

Should be called megacitySCAPE. Even with all poi enabled. Far Less than google maps. Devs make any poi with certain content in the keywords like sex, gay, queer show first when no poi in 50km or on map find first even if 500-1000km away that's super funny lmfao dev cookies at work! Zero content from local experts wherever i an (false advertising). So disappointed! Sounded like an amazing app but its not!
