The app doesn't know anywhere that isn't in Central. It really has to get a better search function. I bought the paid app but it still doesn't work. Needs a lot of work.

Genuinely disappointed by how few places this app has. Doesn't even include all the MTR stations!

The version is stuck at 1.1 since 2013 for Android while it is the version 3.0 available for iPhone. A lot of streets are missing. Very disappointed.

Good start. Could need a request function for buildings etc. Also a street number translator, a sorting of places by district etc.

Previously a good app. Not updated in years, and worse still a lot of names that used to be there are now gone. Totally useless unless you live on the island and go nowhere. Rubbish
