Ratings and reviews on Google PlayComments on Sidewalk Buddy for Android
★★★★★
Awesome for other things. As a sidewalk navigator, I would give this no stars. It basically just made me motion sick. But- let's face it, nobody really NEEDS this app to help them get around. If you want to check out hot chicks without being super pervy or obvious though, here you go! You can also use it to check out dudes. I wish I could take a full res snapshot of what the camera sees by tapping the window, but then it would be too perfect and my head would explode.
★★★★★
Sidewalk Buddy S-Buddy seems like a simple interactive concept and potentially fun too. Question, as to you promo video. Is there a happy ending with guy and gal ?? Good promo video with plausible senario, needs a satisfying ending for comprehensive sell.
★★★★★
Awesome as I walk around campus! Would be great to see a widget or even lock screen widget so I can quiclky turn it off/on and then jump right to my messages.
★★☆☆☆
Fail Transparent screen is better. But they all have the same problem. Try using your camera. It won't work. I even tried taking a screen shot but it came out all blurred. However I do like how you can resize the screen.
★★☆☆☆
Why!!!!!??????? Does not work on wildfire s, why??????? Please fix. Thnx
★★☆☆☆
DO NOT UPDATE! I have a Note 3, and originally got the full ad-free app from App Gratis. This Sept 15 update DESTROYS the app. It not only ads, but FULL screen ads that actually get in the way of the app. It is also more difficult to resize the window as well. I now have to restore the old working version of this app, to get everything back to normal (App Backup and Restore). Not sure what the developers were thinking!
