An intriguing idea, but they seem a little vague about where they're actually getting their traffic data from, just a "third party". For crowd-sourced traffic data to be at all useful it needs to be coming from software that a lot of drivers happen to have on their phones, so I wouldn't be surprised if Google or Apple aren't to be found somewhere in the pipeline.
I’m from the US and I looked on the iOS App Store. It says that it is not available in my region.
@vittoria666 That's surprising since it does report feature availability in the USA and Canada. It doesn't seem to have a regional restriction on Google Play so maybe there's a delay on Apple's side.
I hope American iOS users won't have to wait until the EU forces Apple to allow sideloading.
Not available in Canada
I would say just buy TomTom Go, only 20 euros a year and no Google BS. Or if you really don't want to pay use Amigo, it's also from TomTom with the same life traffic etc.
Gonna give it a shot, but I'm sure i already tried some time ago. So desperate to get away from Google Maps.
