I only gave it 5 stars because of the concept. It used to work awesome, now it doesnt find me at all. Please fix this so it can be 5 stars for real.
Got this over a year ago, and it hasnt been updated since. Does NOT work. I am *now* aware of another reviewers tip -- to move your thumb over the map --, but found myself stuck staring at Africa this past weekend, while in an unfamiliar area. Thats enough to kick this app to the curb permanently, and place the dev on my forever blacklist.
Thinks Im in Africa, but actually Im in California.
Works occasionally. Last three tries did not. Deleted it
The reason I like this app (despite the “Africa” glitch Mentioned by Mad Player 1) is that it works without having to have a wifi or cellular data connection, unlike Maps and most other “find my car" apps. All it needs is GPS satellite reception and it just points you in a straight line to your car. (If wifi or cellular is available it will provide a background map.) We travel in Europe frequently. I turn off data roaming on my iPhone because it is so expensive and most of the time there is no wifi either. This is an excellent app for finding your way back to the tour bus, ship or other meeting point.
First you have to figure out how to deal with the Africa start page. Then, you have a 50/50 chance that it will remember your location. It lost my car this weekend at an air show. These types events are field type parking and is almost essential that these apps do what you paid for. Whats worse, after it looses the data, there is no history of previous pins.
Before using the app go to settings scroll down to the app, click on it. Go to location, click always. Open app, find red car, tap it, move it to your location. Now when you start the app if it goes over Africa just scroll it over your car. The red and green buttons should illuminate. My main complaint is I should not have to tell the app where I am its using GPS it should know where I am.
