User reviews
It was very frustrating to use. there's no way to turn off the app. There are no instructions to guide you through how to set up the app. There is very little informati on youtube on how to use This app. I keep waiting for the location tags to show up but they never do.
The app works in both wifi and LTE/5G mode on the Samsung S22 Ultra with Android 13. However, there is no in-app guidance, help documents, or website source for instructions to save the survey results. The video button does not appear to do anything, while the camera button does capture a photo and prompts you for the app you want to use to store the image. The "+" button seems to start and stop a survey but again, there is no guidance to how to save the results. In short, not a good ux.
Ok could live without it especially as it just seems to be a revenue generator. Paid for no adds - fine now wants more money because survey limit reached. I can see there is room for another 2 items to pop up later when I reach another limit or want to use a feature. In app payments go up to 7.99 so after £4 for unlimited measurement and no adds there's more.
