Hi, I just wanted to say that I've been using the nearby Explorer app for Android for a couple of years now. what it does for my confidence I can hardly describe. as I travel in a lot of unfamiliar areas, I need this app and had depended on mobile Geo for a long time before I was unable to use

Great job Mike. I wish I could have this app as it does remind me of GEO and I would feel very confident with this app. Please could you write to APH and ask if they could release the app internationally as it would be simple, they could get the maps for other countries and then we could have

Well, for $109.99 in the Canadian app store, I think I will wait for someone to do a podcast demo or something. I get pretty good results with blind square, google maps etc so spending another hundred and 10 bucks might be worth it if the info is really good but sort of want to hear what it do
