Ratings and reviews

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.

I love this app however I wish that the navigation could be set up more like apple or Google maps so I can actually use it while driving, I've went through the settings however it still just shows me zoomed out and as a little speck along a line

Raising from 4 to 5 stars. Previous gripes about the app no linger apply, and the latest update makes it sooo much more user friendly. Would still like location accuracy to stop popping up every 10s though.
