Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
New
- Place details now offer "Directions from here". It puts the place you are looking at in the start field and moves the cursor straight to the destination field.
Improved
- In the walk summary that appears when guidance ends, the prompt to enter your weight stops showing once you have passed it twice. If you have entered a weight, the calorie line now tells you which weight the estimate is based on.
- Entering a weight outside 20 to 300 kg in Settings no longer throws the entry away in silence. The previous value is kept, the app tells you why and what it kept, and the allowed range, along with the fact that nothing is stored on a server, now sits under the field at all times.
- In the search tab, the dictation row now comes before the current location bar, right after the search field, so it takes one swipe to reach.
