Superlocal: Map Your World 4+

Love The Concept, But A Couple of Issues

Hopefully the developers see this and can help.
First off, for the developers, the Cities and Countries counter do not seem to work. I have visited over a dozen cities and 6 countries within the app, even having checked it to multiple places while there, but the counter still only shows 0 countries and 2 cities.
There is also an issue the the Categories not working.
Now, for the review, this app is awesome! I love the concept and really wish we could get more people to join! It is so cool to be able to see all the places you have been, right down to the path you traveled! I am a traveler that crisscrosses the U.S. and other countries often! Being able to compete with other travelers on how much area you have explored is fantastic! Hopefully we can get some of these minor glitches fixed and get some more people in the app and this will be a 5 star from me!!

Thanks for the note. We had a brief outage caused by a massive influx of installs. It sounds like you may have experienced the problem during this moment. Should be resolved now :)

Update did little to fix previous issues

So an update from my last review: tracking is still very spotty when moving any faster than running speed and I’m not in the app (which is why I paid for a membership), seeing my data at a further out zoom level has somehow gotten even buggier, and nothing changed with how far in you have to zoom to see the data. I should ideally be able to see at least some form of the data further out since that’s the purpose of the app. Additionally, I mentioned that trying to add a single city to the places I’ve been ends up highlighting the entire United States as if I’ve been everywhere, and this did not change either. The only change I can tangibly find with the new update is a new tab for an upcoming AI search feature. I still hold my rating as is though, because the app still functions as it should otherwise. I just think the developers should hold back on a side feature like the AI search thing until the main feature of the app is improved upon like was promised.

Hi there, We just launched a MASSIVE update that should resolve most things. We deleted a ton of features and spent the past 6 weeks focused intensely on performance and UX.

Cool idea

I like the app mainly because it keeps track of where you go and basically tells you how much of earth you explored which is cool but that’s about it, I don’t need to take pictures and post them I don’t need to know where other people are and I especially don’t want people to know where I am 24/7. Not a big deal I just don’t share my location with friends on the app but also have no desire to have any friends on the app, I’m simply to be on it solo dolo. I would give 5 stars with all of that being said but the only reason I gave 3 is because it doesn’t track an exact straight line where I was driving, I would assume because I was driving faster than it could record so there are just dots going down the road instead of the straight line like the ad showed. It’s also not less than 3 stars because although it’s not a solid like, the dots are very frequent so you can still see where you were going. Overall, great idea I am a fan, if it could be more specific and have solid lines then I would give 5 stars.
