It could have been the fault of the App, but it could have been other factors as well. It depends on where one is to how accurate the info will be, as GPS relies on satellites so the app will try and work with the info it is getting. Also if one is in a city the buildings can effect how much signal your phone will get from the GPS satellites and how many are managing to send a signal to you between the building. Not sure if changing the location on your phone will help either if you are using a GPS app in another country then the one you live in. The lazarillo app certainly isn’t perfect, but it’s not to bad for a free app.
