App looked promising, but the address searching seemed quite inaccurate (I’m in Calgary, Alberta). There address database seemed way off (missing addresses; placed addresses in surrounding towns, rather than in Calgary; Postal Code search didn’t work; and searching contacts didn’t work, presumably because they had postal codes).
Too bad.

Jeremy your like me. I have to try all these apps out every time they come out. I tend to be disappointed and try not to get my hopes up

Must…. install…. new…. app….
As a software developer though, I get annoyed when it doesn’t even pass a minimum amount of testing. If you’re going to claim Canadian support, at least type in a random Canadian address and see what happens. (If it doesn’t remotely match say google, you probably have some work to do). Just for fun, I randomly typed in a few addresses in Toronto, and got a similar result.

It’s actually a 7 day trial NOT 6 months as written

After downloading it, it told me I had about 120 days left on my trial… Unless of course they’ve since changed it.
