FAQ:

* What information is this app collecting on me?

No personal information is collected from the device at all.

* Why can't I see my station?

To reduce the load on the device, stations are clustered when the map zoom is very small. By zooming the map in, more stations may be visible. To always show a certain station, hold down on the station's icon until the device vibrates. That will set it to always be visible.
