OuterSpatial: Get Outside
authentic ratingMap lovers like the idea: the app shows secondary trails and hidden park corners missing from regular maps, and in a couple of parks like the Crosstown Trail in San Francisco it genuinely helps. But execution fails hard: for many the email-code login just does not work, and the app crashes on a screen tap or freezes on points with no details. Plus invasive data collection by default, tiny non-adjustable font, the trail disappears and you have to search for it again, and no iPad version.
A huge gap between storeAvg 4.47 and textAvg 1.95 with pct5 only 9 percent, but the reviews do not look astroturfed, rather the store average is inflated. The text complaints are very concrete: email-code login fails, the app crashes on a screen touch, the San Francisco Crosstown trail disappears. Genuine and harsh.
