I downloaded this app about a year ago and hated it. However, the creators have since changed almost everything and now I quite like it. It would be nicer to be able to have a list of towers rather than a map, and to switch between the two... Definitely a work in progress, and I like where it's heading.

A really useful app - using it loads. Would be even better if the icons on the map changed colour once you have made a note that you've rung at them, so you can see by looking at the map which towers you have still to ring at.

I agree with all the positive comments in other reviews. However, I have two things to query: 1) The 'about' section says this is V2 but the blurb says it's V3.08. I just reinstalled the software on that premise. 2) Am I missing something, but there doesn't seem to be a display of towers' postcodes to allow one to use a stand alone SATNAV.

No idea what this app is like because it has never opened successful. Crashes every time.

Crashes on Moto G3 running Android v6.n. Shame. It was quite good.

Only shows UK towers? Edit I'm on Android 4.2.2. Can't see how to 'reply', hope you see this edit!
