<p dir="auto">Now let me start by saying I really like the app and it is better than any other rider focused app so far.<br />
I have the lifetime plan.</p>
<p dir="auto">Here are some gripes I have:</p>
<ul>
<li>Voice: This is where other apps beat it. Not only Google and Apple, but many others. Robot Voices are a thing of the past. Now it still works, but sometimes it is just harder to understand, especially when numbers are read as one thousand thirty three, when other apps just say ten three three or similar.</li>
<li>Ability to quickly disable street name announcing and only give turn by turn commands.</li>
<li>Map display and animation contrast: Google, Apple and Calimoto have a lot better contrast, general animation and layout. I still prefer MRA as it shows more info (if you select them) but the basic contrast of streets and POIs near you is lacking and why sometimes I switch to Google when getting into a town I have to cross and switch back to MRA when on open roads.</li>
<li>Maybe I missed that, but a PAUSE button would be great. I know you can stop routing and resume, but a simple pause the route you are on, search for a restaurant quickly, navigate there and then resume the original route would be a godsend. No Appl can do that and that would be awesome. My current workaround is stop MRA, use Google Maps to find the POI I need, go there and then switch back. (Yes I know you could also add a waypoint, but I want to preserve the original route for later uses.)</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Now this is still my favorite routing app, but I hope you find my suggestions helpful and keep up the great work you guys do.</p>
