Common Questions:

1. Does this application also work on an iPhone (IOS)?

Unfortunately not, this application is only for Android devices.

The reason is simple, the Android version does already take all of our time.

2. I have just purchased the application on the Play Store, but the download doesn't start or fails

This is an issue in the Google Play application and unfortunately there is nothing we can do. You just need to wait some time and the download will start. Note that if you are installing multiple applications at the same time, they will not be installed altogether and some of them will be paused.

3. I want to re-install the complete version on my device but the Play Store ask me to pay again

Be sure that:

   - You have purchased the application on the Play Store and not on our website using PayPal;

   - You are using the same Google account you used when you purchased the application;

   - You didn't cancel your order, asked for a refund or received an automated refund.

If you have any doubt, contact us by email with your Google Play purchase order ID so we can check its status.

4. Is is possible to transfer the application from one Google account to another?

Unfortunately not. Google doesn't allow it yet.

5. Is built-in data synchronizing planned for the future?

No, for many reasons:

   - It can be done using dedicated apps, we don't want to reinvent the wheel;

   - We'll never done it better that it's currently done by dedicated apps;

   - Based on the large number of Cloud providers, only supporting the main ones will require a huge amount of time;

   - We try to make the application as much offline as possible;

   - We try not to rely on third party frameworks;

   - We are developing a mapping application, not a syncing application.
