Pretty cool app that makes it easy to explore maps from many different sources on the web. I would give it more stars, but the area in which I live isn't represented by very many maps. Sometimes maps appear blurry at first, but this is because they are very high res and need time to fully load.

When the app was first installed it worked really well, viewing maps the maps was easy and the quality was good. However, recently the quality of the maps is poor all of the maps I have tried to view are blurred, and it does not seem to change with zoom level. To that end I would say the app is absolutely pointless until this problem is correct.

** I love this app but forced to uninstall because although app itself is closed, parts still run in the background and makes phone hot and depleats battery very quickly. Never had issues in the past but new phone doesn't like it. (mi9t) Despite having a 4000+mah battery that normally last a couple of days, if I run this app my battery won't last a morning! Even with only a few minutes of actually looking at the maps themselves. Please can we get an update for the latest version of android!
