Instagram service I broken

Overall a good app but abandoned by the developer and Instagram service is broken

High Utility Value

Have been using this app for some time and I really appreciate the convenience and usefulness of finding local spots

Map navigation not happening

Navigation not happening when you select a place of interest and it just displays the location of place of interest.

Minimalistic trend has made it somewhat annoying

I used to use this application daily when it came out. Deleted it a few releases back for various problems - the horrible Apple Maps, poor search speed etc. While the Apple Maps have improved on their own, other things have either gone away or have become worse. 1. There are no settings anymore. I don’t want it to beep at me, there’s no way to turn it off. 2. Compass calibration was an old problem. Their default is to trigger this every time you run the application. Earlier I could turn it off. Guess what, that setting is missing too. 3. GPS wants to be enabled “Always.” Other similar applications have the option for using GPS only when the application is running. Guess what, no setting for that either. Uninstalled yet again. Disappointing. This was an amazing application when it came out, and I’m not sure why they’ve systematically crippled it by all the minimalism.

Turns iphone into a james bond gadget!

This app should be the obvious "default" navigation app for iphone. Other platforms must draw an inspiration from this wonderful app. The Awesome features and high-tech yet superfast UI, Makes our iphones feel like a gadget from the James Bond series for real! Review for Update v4 : IOS should provide the users with another rating grade, Which the users would only be able to grade those certain 5 apps per user,that is the best according to them, And LocalScope definitely deserves the top spot of the list! The beast of an app, Is now the undisputed beast with the latest update !!! Flawless design, Outstanding Completely new interface, To say the least, The price of the app should be at least 20times or even more than its current price, Comparing to its quality! Therefore, Grab the chance and use it, When its price is so low, Since no one would ever regret their investment! Yup, Its definitely an investment, Since you are investing on : "The entire world within the palm of your hand"! That too, With the most beautiful and elegant interface ever seen. All the world around, In the same page, That too, With live compass, Real time augmented reality camera, (Etc,etc,etc,etc........)^n No one can ask for anything more!!! Thanks to Cynapse for providing us with such a wonderful christmas present, Nd for this update, Cynapse would definitely be Santa,for all its users base. To sum it up, This is the next big thing, One would ever want, After purchasing an iPhone. Overall (Previous) Review : This is by far,one of the best professional apps of the iOS store and is one of the most attractive and best reason for many to choose an iPhone over a windows phone. The fluid,simple yet elegant and glamorous interface of the app makes it not only one of the best app of iOS store,but also the top contender for the best navigation app overall(all platforms). It's a type of app,we can show off as a special feature of iPhone! "If you own an iPhone,u are bound to fall in love with Localscope."

Better to use Google Maps

Better not to try this one!!

Awesome

This update is truly wonderful, keep up the good work .!!!👍

Great app!!

Its a very nice app and its location based reminders are just amazing!!

Better to download google maps app..

Guys, please don't buy an app which is completely dependent on another app (Apple Maps), which is not worth depending on itself, at least in INDIA.. Instead download google maps app, thus saving ₹120...

Cool app

Nice app for local place but need update on iOS 7,waiting for latest iOS
