It’s just ok

Tried to use this app when I was in the city and wouldn’t even mark my parking spot. So far it only worked in my driveway.

Update following developer fix and response. I am now able to use the App without being forced to review or say I don’t like it. Easy to use. 4 stars. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Never really used this App. Upon second opening I had two, AND ONLY TWO, choices. Declare I don't like the App, or "Rate Now". There was no Remind me later, or the like. On that basis, one star and immediate removal from phone.

I was looking for a better app to pin my car and I also wanted an app that pins various locations. I thought I found it here, but it has some flaws. I sat in a location and dropped an anchor. I went back to the app later and checked the anchor and it said I was 24 yards from the anchor. I never moved from the spot I dropped it! Also, if you want to get back to your car, it isn't as accurate as it should be. The latitude and longitude pin should always be exactly the same if you drop an anchor or mark your car. For some reason it will take you to the approximate location, but not exactly. It would be a great app if it could be more consistent and accurate. Please improve it so it can be much more reliable. Update: It looks like it was fixed. I will try it again on the car marking, but it seems like it’s better! Thanks for the fix!!!!
Saves me from myself!

Used it to locate my Jeep at an amusement park. It took me to my driver side door.
