## Review summary

Users repeatedly report crashes, making the app unreliable. The search feature often returns No Results after updates, rendering it useless. Mapping and directions within the app are inconsistent or non-functional. Intrusive ads and a reportedly broken ad-free option add to the frustration. A few reviews note some useful features when it works, but overall stability and core functionality remain serious issues.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability; the app often crashes or becomes unresponsive.
- Search results frequently show 'No results' / 'NO RESULTS FOUND' after updates.
- Mapping and directions within the app are unreliable or non-functional.
- Ads are intrusive and the 'no ad' upgrade/purchase either doesn't work or is ineffective.
