Hi, yes. We know it take longer than you and even us probably anticipated. We wanted to cover missing key features before the springtime initially. But in the end we chose harder path in order for the app to be better in the long-term. In case you don't loose patience with us, I am confident to say you will be using better product in the end because of this seemingly "empty" period.
But it definitely isn't empty for us, we are still rushing towards our goals with the app in the development!
1) We spent significant time to upgrade MyLibrary as it was mandatory due to technical reasons to keep compatibility with its huge scheduled redesign on backend servers, Android and Web. And it resulted in better experience with it even on iOS, although we know that wasn't highest priority for users.. But we had to do it anyway. By the way, in the process the iOS version have its first "win" against its older Android sibling - you can now browse your library while see the data immediately on the "live" map on same screen.
2) The next big thing are offline maps. We are in the finish line with the development here. In the process we built completely new vector online/offline LoMaps and offline POI dataset which will upgrade experience even compared to their current versions available on Android. During spring we will launch them on iOS and some time later even on remaining platforms.
3) The next quest will be to deliver 1.gen planner and navigation/guidance features. We will see if we manage to release them during summer, but we will do our best.
So yeah, for this year, the app will definitely keeps its Lite postfix in the name. But we definitely didn't slowed down in the team. Of course, more users willing to support us with activating Premium, bigger change we will be able to speed up the development with additional team member.
