Scale for tablets please Everything is just enlarged for tablets so buttons take up a ridiculously large amount of space. Graphics are washed out and fuzzy.

Not optimized for tablets Phone interface just scaled to 10". Look rather ugly. The app shows places only for current location, you can't choose location on map and get places. The app shows only part of the existing places, full list is only in the commercial version. Thus this is not full-featured application but thanks to the author for the tryout.
