Update - Thanks for the response. I figured out the issue. I noticed that when I was launching the app, it was launching my browser. I think I was stuck in OpenStreetMap after signing in. I had to hit back multiple times to get back to the actual Deflock app. The app works great, OpenStreetMap was really difficult to use on mobile.

Edit: aha! Yes, that's why we made the app! Glad you got it sorted.

1st, I have to give a huge high-5 to the developer for their efforts and premise for this app. When it actually loads data, it is super useful. ONLY reason for the average review is it has been largely unusable for me. Slow loading, panning/zooming the map slightly triggers the reload process again. "Surveillance data slow"; constant message I see. Maybe I'm missing something. I suspect this grievance will be resolved the near future; so will my review. Big thank you to the dev(s) though!

Edit: loading should be faster and more reliable now as of 2.7.1! Loading indicator is still a bit twitchy, but the data actually loads in more reliably. Thanks for the high 5! Glad you find the app useful when it works, that's about all I can hope for haha. Sorry for the annoyance, appreciate you sticking it out.

App doesn't work. can't navigate, only shows devices in a small area downtown, wont show the devices that I can see from my driveway, navigation says start and destination are too close together, cant change destination and it doesn't seem to be able to use my location at all, taking me to sanfrancisco whenever I open it.

We fixed an issue with location permission requests in 2.7.1. Map data should also load in faster and more reliably. Navigation UX is a little unintuitive; it's on the list to improve. But it does work, you just have to drag the map or search again.
