"disapointing", "incomplete data set", "couple days out of date", "filters revert when app loads", "Hard near impossible to locate your position on map (no marker), no quick routing (need to waste a lot of time to fill in details about vehicle and other stuff), not suitable for travellers, not suitable for nation wide deliveries", "it doesn't show the actual price even though it says updated an hour ago, it said diesel at a certain fuel station was 1.39 and its actually 1.79" |
"price updated one year ago", "competitor apps are better", "buggy ui", "inaccurate prices" |
