Street view mapping service WoNoBo which launched in October last year, has launched an Android app that has all the issues its website has and then some more. The app has a two-pane interface,similar to the mobile website of WoNoBo. It lets you search for locations, get directions and share your location; a very small feature set for a mapping app in this day and age. When you open WoNoBo it shows the street view from the road closest to you by default. However, if you ask the app for directions the app chokes harder than South Africa in the semi-final of a cricket World Cup. It's slow and there is a high chance you might not find the location altogether. Even if you find the location, the load times are terrible making navigation pretty useless. It takes so long that by the time WoNoBo loads each location, you might have passed the turn you were supposed to make. That being the case, you're better off using Google Maps or Nokia Here for the navigation and using WoNoBo for viewing the street view of the destination to familiarise yourself with the area. What's missing: Many features that are part of the website have not made its way to the app. Missing features include walking tours that lets one view the touristy locations in a city, user-generated news stories for each location (is anyone uploading stories on the service any more?) and guides that are supposed to help tourists. Other issues: The app shows…
