## Review summary

Users appreciate 'Halfway' for accurately finding midpoint locations and nearby amenities like restaurants and gas stations, making it useful for coordinating meetups. However, multiple users report issues including lack of GPS location support, occasional errors or bugs, limited routing options (no toll avoidance), and some UI deficiencies. Some users find the app outdated or miss features seen in tutorials. Despite these cons, many find the app straightforward and effective for its primary purpose.
