That app looks like it's just isometric view pictures. That's not really 3D is it. With an isometric view you can't see roads very well when looking at built up areas.... so it's not very useful.
Does this company have any 3D content? Or is it just these isometric images that were probably rejected by other mapping companies?

I agree. Having had a quick look at the app, it appears to just have multiple views from different angles.

What's more is this bird's eye view is already available with multimap... highly unlikely to cover anywhere near as much of the country as google's aerial view either.
