I'm interested in exploring mobx-state-tree, but there is no mention in their documentation about testing. How is your experience with testing MST? Is it as easy as with redux?

Apple ID's make assumptions (they strip out the + and everything after it) and it's made it a nightmare to use iTunes Connect. Their multiple account support is still terrible so it's easiest to have an Apple ID per iTunes Co

I believe they were used a lot in Japan and Apple created them initially for that market as well. They were one of the first to make them accessible in the west though.

They added offline support for POIs last year I think. Offline navigation works too, but it's not always as good as it lacks traffic data.
