## Review summary

Users praise ease of use and basic functionality but repeatedly report major issues: unreliable delivery tracking, dependence on Google Maps with weak address search, post-update stability regressions, unclear pricing/free-tier limits, and inconsistent location lookup.

### Pros

- Easy to use with a simple, readable interface
- Menus are straightforward and the UI is easy to navigate
- Some reviewers find the app functional and usable for route planning

### Cons

- Delivery/tracking is unreliable; packages can be left at the curb and tracking often fails
- Heavy reliance on Google Maps instead of an in-app map, with weak address search and integration
- Post-update regressions cause routes to loop, bounce, or fail to plan; map stay-active issues
- Pricing/free-tier issues: claims of unlimited stops in the free version are inaccurate and free usage is limited
- Address/search lookup is inconsistent, sometimes failing to find locations or returning unrelated results
