If you check my edit history this was originally 5 stars with a glowing review but as always they ruined their own app. Uninstalling and sticking with Google Maps which never has issues and always works. They messed up the app so IT NO LONGER SHOWS WHERE YOU ARE ON THE MAP in real time while trying to navigate to a place! Ruins the whole point of the app! 🤣🤡 Finishing my journey using Google Maps to track my progress with no issues and sticking with that app from now on.

It's okay but can't really be used on its own, even in Korean it seems to be pretty bad. For example, if you want to enter an address, even if you put the exact address or if you search really common things like "x station" it won't even give you the closest approximation. You have to use it in conjunction with another app. I was making do for a couple weeks in Jeju but it has no f*ng clue what to do in Seoul. Switching to another app to try my luck there.

If you're in South Korea this is a MUST have. Just download it now. Update: There are some user experience gotchas with this app. First, the default mode for directions does NOT update your location on the map. It shows no updates! You can get it give GPS real time updates...how?? Click around randomly...I can't reliably repeat the behavior. This is bad. Second issue: naming places. On map hover menu, "add place" is PUBLIC places. Not what I would expect. Private locations are hidden. bad desig
