Needs work
The concept is great and routes are usually pretty good, but the app needs a lot of work to be more functional.

Ads
I appreciate that the developers need to get paid, but I uninstalled the app after seeing five ads in my first five minutes of using it. The final straw was an overlay ad that took up the entire screen while I was in the middle of trying to get directions.
