### 1/5 — Fails

*2025-01-23, version 2.7.0*

Prompts for Login; I login with Apple ID;  nothing happens.  Click on Support link; I see the same login prompt on his web page.  Goofy stuff.

### 2/5 — Sign up required

*2024-12-17, version 2.6.0*

I value my anonyminity.   I will test further if sign up is removed.  I'd like to at least give it a try prior to signing in.  Feed back requires sign up as well.

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2024-01-24, version 2.5.0*

I’m enjoying using this new app. I saw a YouTube video he did about this app where he spoke about expanding to new objects like double stars etc. Unfortunately I don’t think he’s done any more on it. I also wish I could figure out how to edit my checklist of items to bring with me.  I made a mistake and can’t seem to be able to fix it. Bummer. I know he did this program for himself and decided to share it as an app. Very admirable. Very nice guy. Thanks for doing this.

### 4/5 — Crashing

*2022-12-10*

Current update fixes the issue. Thx

Can’t open the latest update. Crashed as soon as it opened. ( iOS 16.1.2 / iPhone 13 Pro )

**Developer response:** Hello JW-GO, 

Thank you for informing us. The app crashed due to an update in requirements from the Facebook. This is required for users to login with Facebook.
Nevertheless, your data remains safe and secure. 

This has been updated in the version 2.4.1.
Please also expect another update with some more features in the next day or two. 

Thank you.
Clear Skies.
