Doesn't show any tweets

I bought this to show tweets near but but it shows No Results all the time. No matter what I search. All the other results seem to be directory listings. Can't see any local social posts.

For twitter, it doesn't show nearest person in order. All random miles away. Also can't you search with ALL engines? Please update. Other than that, pretty good interface so i'm hoping they update to make it useable..UPDATE: After 1.3 update all the result do NOT show up in order of nearest first..what kind of schoolboy error is this??!?!UPDATE: After 1.4 They have STILL not fixed the order of nearest first for ANY results!! This is totally rubbish. Get aroundme instead as it's free and the you can actually see what's local to you rather than this app.

Great app

I would have five starred this app, it is great but there is one thing that annoys me about it. In the settings / options area there is a option to choose metric (km) or US imperial (miles). Why is the option metric or US? I live in the UK but prefer miles to the metric system ( a lot of other uk residents probably do too) The UK still uses miles per gallon to determine economy of its cars ? So what is the thinking behind US or metric. Prove to others you have the ability to let the user choose the measurement system they want to use and not the dictation of the countries most used format and I will grant the app five stars. All you need is a metric or imperial measurement toggle and everyone is happy. It isn't the US versus everyone else in the world .... Unless you are saying the US are the primary users of this app ? I wonder if the app developer is American ? ?

Works great internationally

I have used this app extensively whilst traveling and found it invaluable for finding local businesses, restaurants etc. especially when on foot walking about in a foreign city. I have used it all over Canada, Spain and in the UK and it have been a Godsend. My only criticism is if you enter a word such as "nightclub", any business with either the word "night" or "club" will drop a pin on the map and clutter the results shown. Also it can be a hassle to enlarge the map enough to select a certain pin I there are an excessive amount of results within a close area. Those issues aside, this app has been well worth the money paid saving me loads of time otherwise lost roaming around in a foreign city such as Barcelona. And yes I have been using it since the new update with zero new problems.
