★★★☆☆ Good app
Lots of people here. Needs some work updating regularly though.…
★★★☆☆ Good features but restrictions make it almost unusable
I’m all for making money to support the app. But with so many ads, it’s unusable without forking over large sums of it.
The features are compelling and really l only use it when I travel and will pay for a week because it just isn’t worth…
