My first observation about this app.

 

First of all I have only just installed it and only plaied about with it for a 
short time. I need to advise that I haven’t walked out and about with it yet 
and only plaied about here at home. Hving said that, I must say that although 
it definitely recognised my address, sadly it claims that there are no near by 
places even though this is definitely not true. For example, there is a pub, an 
off licence and a couple of shops all within about 5 minutes or less walking 
distance from here. It says that it partly uses google maps and google maps 
certainly recognises those location, but this app does not.

 

Also, in order to find friends near by it says that you have to log in to 
facebook, but I don’t see anywhere with in this app an option to do so. So how 
does one log in to fb with this app?

 

So, it’s hard to judje how good this app is, as I said,  it is disappointing 
that it doesn’t recognise certain points of interest near by my flat, but as I 
also mentioned, I haven’t walked about with it therefore I most certainly 
didn’t fully test it.
