    I haven't really had much experience with this app yet, but I don't know what's up with the negatives reviews. This app was a breeze to setup, and from everything I've seen so far it is very well thought out. The only thing that bothers me at least on Android at this point is that it seems to constantly be using my location whether I'm running it out not. I could temporarily disabled that permission I when I'm not using it I guess. But kinda sucks to have to.

    They need to increase the tile limit so you can download a reasonable size offline map. This is nearly the sole purpose of the product. FAIL!

    Off line maps freezes app if you inadvertently exit from the app and try to restart it so neither maps nor chat actually work. Rebooting my phone does not help. When in range of LTE data, in line map starts to work but the orientation is askew. No obvious way of turning the map upside right. Motorola, you need to work on this some more so that in the bush it is more reliable. As it is I am glad I dont depend on your maps or your communication tools.
