OK app, but got much worse recently. 1. Put the route button back in the lower right hand corner. It's super annoying for large phone users to have to stretch to the upper right hand corner every time we want to hit it. 2. Give us an option to not make the home tab pop up every time we open up the app. This is super annoying, and I can't disable it. 3. Stop putting ads everywhere. This app has been progressively adding more ads recently. The old versions had less ads.

The first one of these apps that I actually like! Bravo! 0 issues with this. The street view is actually far superior to google maps! Seeing A LOT of 1 star reviews because apparently with a recent update, they removed features including the English voice for navigation. This is why I don't update my apps! 😁 Don't update your apps and save the .apk files to a hard drive in case you need to restore your phone! 👍🏻

If you're in South Korea this is a MUST have. Just download it now. Update: There are some user experience gotchas with this app. First, the default mode for directions does NOT update your location on the map. It shows no updates! You can get it give GPS real time updates...how?? Click around randomly...I can't reliably repeat the behavior. This is bad. Second issue: naming places. On map hover menu, "add place" is PUBLIC places. Not what I would expect. Private locations are hidden. bad desig
