Poor app and site

Went searching for certain historical figures blue plaques and they are not on the app or website.

Not up to date

Not enough information and not up to date.
A plaque has been added for Princess Diana outside Coleherene Court, on Old Brompton Rd, for example, but is not in the app.
Needs updating for 2022..

Great but needs expanding

I love this app, I’ve now found several blue plaques in London that I would never have seen without it. Please can this be expanded to all blue plaques, not just London?
Also, to get the 5th star, please add a way of ticking off plaques you’ve seen, I'd love to be able to leave my notebook at home 😂
Thank you

Map broken

Map doesn’t open - get an error about needing to check JavaScript console, which is fine if I was developing the app but not as a user! Same problem with main EH app.

Maps don’t work

I am afraid at the moment, when I launch the maps all I get is an error message about google maps and JavaScript making it unusable.
