Recent reviews

I ve had this app for a long time and it works great. I use it during work hours in case I need to call a 30/30 shut down. Being in the US, I use the imperial system. When I’m in the app, everything shows up as miles. But as of a number of months back, my alerts have switched to metric and I have no idea how to get it back to miles. I’ve deleted the app several times and reinstalled it and that doesn’t seem to work. I’d give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for that.
