the interface and the options are nice but 2 things really bugged me - first of all i'm so annoyed by the fact that you can only click the arrows and move forward one step at a time, i would like to see the street-click feature implemented - and second: your compass is kinda useless, the red tip doesn't show north but rather reflects your view, eg: if you're looking west the red tip will turn west and not east as usual
Honestly, if I could rate this lower, I would. Every time I have played the screen eventually goes black with a small portion of the area loaded. If I can't see anything, what is the point of the game? Also, after reading some other reviews, it seems this is a reoccuring problem. I can also say for sure that it is not my internet connection. I love the computer version of this game though!
Since moving to Android this is the nearest app to GeoGuessr I have found. The things I like about this app is the variety in countries it takes you to - it really makes you work hard to find where you are which is good. I also love the multiplayer function but there never seems to be anyone online - even on the World category - which is such a shame as I like the competitiveness. That is the only big downside alongside sometimes slowly loading maps. I really hope this app gets more popular as the multiplayer function is something that sets it apart from other apps.
App works perfectly, with fluid controlls and plenty of variety. only small point is the occasional round where you are placed on a long road in the middle of nowhere, but hey thats part of the game.
It's okay. The game itself is decent, but the hints can only be bought through microtransations, and you have to pay to play multiplayer. Playing GeoGuessr on the phone's browser is a lot better than this.
This was such a wonderful game and I always enjoyed playing it during my free time. I'm sorry to hear that you (we, really) got screwed over by google's greed. This was one of the few games I keep on my phone and I'm going to miss it so much. You did a great job with this app. Consider this a great success, enough so that google wanted to tax you like crazy on it. I wish you all the best for your future projects.
Edit: Hey! Never would've thought I'd get a reply this quickly! Had this game, and read your responses to others' reviews for over a year now, and I can understand where you're coming from, with all the stresses that come with hobbyist game-dev, or the technical stuff like Google StreetView API hooks/functionality being insufficient. I know it's been almost 2 years since the last update, but I believe can eventually figure something out! As an aspiring game-dev I'm interestedToSeeWhereThisGoes:)
like it, but it keeps exiting the game on its own. give a completely blank screen and then goes back to the game menu.
I feel sad this game is no longer there. I would play this game as I am always exploring Google earth street maps. Google first made the whole Maps api billable last year and now this! It was fun while it lasted. Thanks.
similar to geoguessr by Google, but less definition so signs aren't readable and the movements are too big when you want small and not big enough when you want to move somewhere quicker down a road
Extremely glitchy, map disappears, arrows disappear, crashes a lot. Otherwise it's fun.
Images not loading properly. Dome rounds is nothing but a black screen. Others have blurry images as if the pictures haven't loaded properly.
Had loads of fun with this until it stopped working completely and won't load any maps. Been like this for a while now. Please fix.
Too many small places. I have had two East Timors, two Luxembourgs, two American Samoas, Isle of Man, and Anguilla, but no US, UK, Russia, Canada, Argentina, or Australia. I do want small places, but I want big places too.
It was a wonderful app when it was around. I enjoyed it alot and I think its really sad that this had to close. Overall I'll still give it a 5 star review because of the wonderful times I hap playing this.
Located, random dark bar, no clues, moving just makes bar darker or random hill somewhere god even can't guess. Long and Infinity loading screens.
I paid for the app and multiplayer mode does not work... it kicks me out to the menu, as soon as I choose multiplayer mode
It's a fun game but tuere are flaws with the app. First, if you set the timer to 0 then it should be no timer. instead it gives you 0 seconds to guess. Played till 5 round and started walking around then screen turned black. Attempted to hit the home button, nothing, attempted to hit guess button and it crashed. This must be a difficult game to make into an app. Hats off to the developer cause I'm sure its not easy.
