Latest reviews of GPS - Way Home Finder App app for iPhone and iPad
Good luck trying to find your way anywhere! The correlation between the Arrow and position you want to go do not match! Arrow keeps moving, map keeps rotating? If you need to go somewhere, ask someone, maybe they can help you better. Maybe there is potential but needs a lot of work!
The ideas nice, but why does the map appear upside down and goes rotating as I turn? If this issue gets fixed the app would be fine.
I downloaded the app today. There are no instructions at all and I can’t get it to do anything. I clicked on the Developer Website link and it is in German.
Direction arrow stopped working after a couple weeks
