  1. 4/5Poss Update Feature

    After buying the subscription, I’m really enjoying the app both on my iPhone and my Apple Watch however, I wish that there was a widget I could add to my Apple Watch Home Screen for faster access.

  2. 1/5Watch App

    I really wanted to like this app because the concept is genuinely useful, especially for first responders, security, military, or anyone who may need to quickly identify their exact location without pulling out a phone. The Apple Watch integration is the entire reason this app matters. In a foot pursuit, emergency response, medical call, firefight, or any high stress situation, nobody is stopping to unlock a phone and open a map app. Glancing at your watch for an instant location readout is a smart idea and could honestly be extremely valuable. I tested the app by driving to random locations and checking whether I could quickly identify where I was from the watch alone. The good news is that the app eventually gave accurate information. The bad news is that it was consistently too slow to be practical. Almost every time, the watch would sit on “Locating…” for 30 seconds to over a minute. Sometimes it felt even longer. By that point, I could already pull out my phone and figure it out faster. In an actual emergency, that delay makes the app hard to rely on. At the time of this review, the app offers a 3 day trial, then costs about $5 per year or around $10 for lifetime access. Honestly, I would gladly pay the lifetime price if the app worked reliably and quickly enough to trust in real world situations. The issue is not the cost. The issue is speed and responsiveness. I think the developers are onto something here, and I appreciate that someone is making an app focused on this specific problem. My biggest suggestions: 1. Make the watch app the absolute priority. 2. Cache location updates more aggressively. 3. Allow instant display of the last known address while refreshing in the background. 4. Reduce loading times dramatically. This app has potential. Right now it feels more like a proof of concept than something I could depend on operationally. I unsubscribed and deleted the app because the app also gets bricked unless you pay. (Not mad at that but yeah, it’s to slow).

  3. 2/5Needs faster response

    Using trial period in Whitefish MT. Agree with an earlier reply that response time/ GPS fix is slow indoors, a bit better outside. Not knowing the “mechanics” unsure if GPS fix is the issue but apple maps has been fast until cell signal goes to satellite. From my earlier read seems you are working on improved sensitivity and accuracy/response time which if optimized will make for a valuable app. I plan to drop after trial period and check back in a few months. Cheers.

  4. 5/5Great for LE

    Giving 5 stars because the app is a very useful tool and has potential to be awesome for LE. I’ve been looking for something similar for a while. As stated by others. The change I would need for patrol is a button on the home screen of the watch for quick access to the app.

  5. 2/5Not there yet

    I’m leaning towards 3 stars but will settle for 2 for now. It’s not terrible but needs improvement. In a job where seconds matter, it needs to be accurate. Takes about 5-10 seconds to locate from a wake position. And updates another 5 -10 Seconds when on a new road. Sometimes it takes 45 sec to update or not the correct road. I really hope this can be improved. It can be a great tool for an Apple Watch
