Ratings and reviews

It's working great but drains the battery really fast, like 10% in 15 min. That makes it unusable and it's a shame. Please try to fix this issue. Thank you. ***Update info*** Indeed, the "energy saving" feature helped a lot. It still drains a bit more than I would like too but it's acceptable. 5 stars :)

This app is the very best navigation tool for my devices. It was painless to set up and everything works so flawlessly. Also the directions were SO simple to understand and not confusing whatsoever. My devices ▫️Gear Fit2 ▫️Google Pixel 2 XL (Android 11 beta)

It works for the most part. It periodically lights up on my watch and indicates that it's connecting with my phone. This becomes rather annoying. Please fix.
