Seems the apps simply depends on google-schijt to run. So unless you install google-schijt (or perhaps MicroG) it probably can’t work. You can try complaining at their email address, listed on the store page.

Well that’s a shame. I sent them a message in the faint hope they are able to do something about this.

I tested on 10 III running Sauna and XA2 and 10 II running Struven ketju.

Searching (I tested Groningen) works but routing from Tampere 13 km from Rajaportin sauna doesn’t.

I have MicroG with the settings needed by Lidl Plus.

Edit: freshly updated 10 II Sauna: OK
