This looks somewhat usable, but when I go to the category tab, which is where I landed the first time I ever openned the app, I double tapped on shopping. I then double tapped on electronics. Up to this point, so far so good. Then however, I went to where it said Best Buy and gave the address of my nearest location. It said shows more info. I thus double tapped to see if I could get more info as it suggested. No matter what, try as I may, nothing at all really seemed to happen. It looked like it took me over into the native maps app which totally stinks, seeing that the voice guidance for the app seems to be broken. At least on my end, and about 3 other people I've had try it, tell me it's broken. Yes, I know about going into settings and making sure the voice is said to normal or loud, etc. I'm perfectly aware of that. I've already checked it, and it's on loud. Anyway, the app switcher didn't show Maps as running though, so I'm not really sure. After double tapping on that Best Buy store location, it doesn't really appear that the screen really refreshed and updated to quote: show more info. When I 3 finger flicked down to scroll the screen up toward the top of the page, it appeared that it was actually scrolling me between different cities and the more I 3 finger flicked up or down, didn't matter, it geographically was moving me further and further away from my current location. Scrolling the other way made no difference. It insisted on moving me further out rather than scrolling the screen. I confess, I've not looked at the search nor favorites options within the app, nor yet have I looked at the settings, but upon first glance so far, it looks to not be the most usable over here. If I flick around, I sometimes even hear it say use the rotor to access points of interest. Well, at that point, I can get the rotor set to points of interest, but then if I 1 finger flick up or down, it just dwonks at me, and nothing happens. I dono if that's because maybe that would eventually be a way to get at your favorites? If so, then call it that, for god sake! Not! points of interest. OK, they may technically be that, but that's really! a very poor way of wording it, if so. So, guys, what am I missing here if anything?
