People use Apple Maps? 🤔

It’s come a long way to finally being good. This ain’t your grandpa’s orchard variety map.

It still forces you to use yelp app for everything. Gonna be a no from me dawg.

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago

That’s probably my biggest gripe with the app right now. Fingers crossed that they decouple next year.

[–] sicjoke@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Yes. I find it easily as good as the alternatives.
