Byzantine Apps LLCAbout this app
Developer Description
If you want a navigation app that complains, this may be the app for you...
BSNavigator features:
- Accurate turn-by-turn directions from Mapbox.
- Selectable navigation modes (Driving (Avoid Traffic), Driving, Walking, Cycling).
- Selectable profanity settings (On, Some, None).*
- Switchable insult settings (On, Off).**
- Night and Day modes.
- Buttloads of obnoxious directions, insults, and rerouting instructions.
- Ability to select routes that avoid tolls.
- Ability to automatically change units based on the device's locale.
Info about BSNavigator Location Permissions:
- Navigation apps require access to the device's foreground location. Without the location permission, they can't function properly or provide accurate turn-by-turn instructions.
- As soon as the app is opened and a subscription is enabled, you will be asked to grant the app foreground and background location permissions. These permissions can be changed at any time in the device Settings.
- BSNavigator will operate without the background location permission, but users will have to keep the app open in order to receive accurate turn-by-turn instructions.
- If you are interested in using the app while it's closed, you will have to grant the app access to the device's background location permissions. You can disable background location permissions at any time in the device Settings and the app will still function normally while it's open.
Info about BSNavigator Subscriptions:
- Payment will be changed to your Google Play account once you confirm the subscription.
- The Month and Year subscriptions allow you unlimited access to the app for the period of the subscription. These options remove all ads and allow for unlimited drives/routes during the period of the subscription.
- The Subscription options automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off or the subscription is cancelled before the end of the current subscription period.
- You can cancel your subscription at any time in the subscriptions section on Google Play. When you cancel your subscription, you’ll lose access to the subscription at the end of the current billing period.
- You will not receive a prorated refund if you cancel a subscription in the middle of a billing period. Instead, you will continue to receive the subscription content for the remainder of the current billing period, regardless of the cancellation date.
- You might find a payment authorization on your payment method up to 24-hours before the renewal date but you’ll only be charged on the renewal date. To remove the payment authorization, cancel the subscription before the renewal date.
- Automatic renewals will cost the same price you were originally charged for the subscription.
- You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal by going to the Subscriptions section on Google Play after subscribing. There is also a link to manage subscriptions in the BSNavigator Purchases page located in the upper right drop down menu in the app.
- You can also add a second payment method to your Google Play account to help prevent interruptions to your subscription service in case your primary payment method expires or fails.
- Once a subscription expires, ads will be shown again in the app.
- Read the app Terms of Use / Privacy Policy for more information.

After updating the app crashes every time i try to use it Rancid bag of unicorn farts I love this so much i often use it even when I know where im going just so i can listen to what its going to say
I love this app and have used it exclusively for months, and got the paid version. It's extremely funny. I reached out to the developer once with a problem and he replied same day, and had a fix for the bug I'd found extremely quickly. My only critique currently is that it's not very good at getting me to the right building in a multibuilding complex or a shopping plaza. That may be a problem with the service they use to get map data tho. Otherwise I'd give 5 stars!
Like the sarcasm, but lost me with "free drives" I enjoyed wtforecast and was ok with the ads. I caught an ad for this in that app and was like cool. Grabbed it and tried it with a route I know well to see how it responded to things like missed turns, etc and liked the responses. Didn't like it used mapbox but whatever. When I reached my destination, I stopped navigation and saw 9 remaining free drives. Lost me right there. I'd rather the ads instead of pay wall.
Love it, but lack of Android Auto/Car Play functionality prevents me from using it regularly. I would happily subscribe if this was addressed. 3 years later and still no Android Auto.
Been using this for about 5 years. I used to love this app, but hadn't used it in a while because of some issues it was having. I pulled it up today to see if it was dependable, only to find it's now subscription only. If you need to move to a subscription based app, fine. But, please have a limited free version, free trial, or something similar so we can see if it's something worth paying for. Since I have no way to know if it's worth paying for or not I'm forced to uninstall, sadly.
