Ratings and reviews

Works well enough on a Garmin Instinct 3 Solar, though not perfectly tailored to that display resulting in elements being cut off. I gave the app 2 stars for the 2 dollar a year subscription for an app that just relays directions from your phone to your wrist. I bought the similar Nav.Me app for my pebble a decade ago for 2 dollars and it still works to this day and it's perfectly tailored to the pebble display. Give one time purchase of say 4-6 bucks and fix the display, 5 stars.

Bait and switch app. This app came pre-installed on my AmazFit GTS 4 watch, and when I successfully set it up, including the companion app on my phone, I discovered this is a trial version that will only run for 10 mins at a time. If I want it to run the entire time I'm navigating, I have to pay a subscription of $0.99 per six month. This app came pre-installed on my watch! It should be the full version. I didn't pay this much for a watch only to have trialware apps on it. Uninstalled.

Does what it's supposed too, the free trial is good. Helps me navigate on foot without pulling out my phone every couple of minutes. Technically a 4/5 or 5/5 app (missing a map like on wearOS maps though) Unfortunately no one time purchase option. I'd buy it for 10-15$, but there is only a stupid subscription option. The subscription is cheap enough, but I hate it.
