Has potential but not yet a shining star
TimeWolf
The concept has potential. UI is decent. Still has a lot of room to grow to become a "must have". Information is available mostly for major destinations but in the real world of travel it's the out of the way places travelers need the most help. As it is right now the app is too expensive.
NOT SO GOOD - For Now

I just Purchased this ap & I'm a bit disappointed. I thought it would be more capable. For example: I tried to calculate ground distance between two small cities. First I used zip codes - No Comprende. Then I tried entering city and state - NG. But, rather than nitpick, I'll give it time to mature. My recommendation- One star. Wait till it grows up.
Misleading

This app talks about different countries and doesn't even have Rio de Janeiro's GIG airport code... Do not buy if you are interested in Brazilian routes... Wait for an update or buy something else.
This is nuts!

Will not function off opening page Takes a while to load as it pulls from their server. Once ready however seems to work fine. Now looking forward to experiencing the app!
Not worth the $5 should be 0
Needs improvement.
I downloaded this app thinking it would provide a lot of cool info that would be useful during my travels. However, the app won't accept inputs hardly at all and it doesn't link information together like you would expect. Just google the info you need this app is worthless.
