App is useful, but needs a lot of permissions to work. I go back in to settings after each use and turn off permissions, for privacy reasons. After I save a favorite, it continues to ask if I want to save as favorite, which is confusing. Also, if I extend the time to share, it usually automatically reverts back to limited amount of sharing time. Can be confusing if you modify the destination or try to add a recipient after starting the route. With some refinements, it could better.

I used to love the app. However, around when I got the Flip 3 5g, it stopped working correctly. When I try to login, after I enter verification code, nothing happens. Just endless spinning circle. Also, the widgets don't work anymore. Will change review when it works again, if I can wait that long. This has been a problem for a hot minute.

App works fine, but the widget stopped working recently. No matter what tile I tap on nothing happens (Send / History / Favorites). It literally does nothing. I think it was around the time my Samsung Galaxy S10 had an update, so not sure if that has something to do with it? Hopefully, I'm not the only one, and the developer is able to fix with an update.
