Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The interface could surely use an update, together with a tutorial and some instructions for new users. |
Function8
The app works just fine, but it has trouble opening the map section and it might actually crash when trying to do so. |
Security9
It only needs access to areas of your phone that are connected to its features, so you shouldn't worry about privacy issues. |
Battery7
Consumption is a bit high, especially if you keep your location services on. |

The app is completely free of charge, no ads or in-app purchases whatsoever. |
Compatibility7
The developer didn't mention Android versions compatible with this app. |
It's a nice app but needs some improvements.
