Description by Ryota Ayaki Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
We can't either.
Waaaaay! is a ridiculously simple navigation app for the directionally challenged.
It shows exactly two things: the direction to your destination and the remaining distance. Walk where the arrow points, and you will get there eventually. No map reading required.
■ This app is for you if...
- You open a map app and still have no idea which way to start walking
- "Head northeast" means nothing to you
- You get lost the moment you step out of a station
■ How it works: 3 steps
1. Search for a place (stations, convenience stores and cafes are one tap away)
2. The arrow points toward your destination
3. Walk that way. That's it!
■ Features
- Arrow navigation showing only direction and distance (compass mode)
- Check your position and destination on a map (map mode)
- Place search, search history, and favorites
- Set a destination from a place URL copied in another app
- Remaining distance on your Lock Screen (Live Activity)
- A mysterious upgrade that turns the arrow into a fish (why? we don't know either)
■ Notes
- Due to how GPS works, your location may drift indoors. See "About Location" in the app for details
- Premium Search (a monthly subscription) boosts search accuracy
