Ratings and reviews

Seems like a good idea, but doesn't work in principle. It works off of OpenStreetMap, and not sure if it's that or their integration but it makes everything super slow and unresponsive. It took me 4 attempts just to be able to authenticate, and even then "downloading data" took forever and not even sure it actually finished. And I still couldn't report the camera that's been installed at the entry to my neighborhood. Imagine trying this from a moving vehicle.

it's a great app but I'm not a fan of the navigation system because you have to know how to read a map really good to find where you want to go. you can't just put in the address of where you want to go you have to hunt and peck and look around on the map and try to figure out where the location is visually. hopefully in the future they will make it so you can just type the address like you can on the website. I'm not really sure how to select "route from" or "to" anyway it's pretty tough to use

someone mentioned this app on tiktok downloaded it while I was waiting for the app to download I was reading reviews about the app this app is not used for navigation it is only to document unknown locations of cameras unless you are local to the area being traveled it is possible to use this for navigation
