Cons
Con No offline re-routing
Offline GPS will tell you when you have left your tour (and approximately what direction it is in), but cannot re-route without internet connection. Which can be inconvenient for those that deviate or get lost.
Con Still small user base
App was launched only fairly recently, so not many clubs or public rides on the app.
Con No web app
At the moment no web app, only on phone.
