### 5/5 — Ver handy app

*2025-08-07*

I use this app when I’m on the road and all the campgrounds are full.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. I'm glad you find the app useful.

### 1/5 — Walmart superstore  1971

*2024-07-21*

The app states it is OK for overnight parking. This is not true. There’s signs all over the the entire parking lot Saying  “Absolutely NO Semi Truck trailer or RV Parking!

**Developer response:** At the bottom of each listing is a “location comment” button. Tap that button and send us your corrections about this location. If we don’t hear about a location update nothing changes.

### 2/5 — Incorrect listings

*2022-12-15*

Very helpful app but they forget to tell you the listings may not be inaccurate. They forget to tell you that the customer not the company is used to correct the listings. They don’t let you know that you can drive an hour and a half to a place and then find out it’s not available because it’s listed as being current and accurate. Why not tell your customers so that they are happier that the listings may or may not be current that the software is outsourced to the customer? Why not put a disclaimer where everyone can see it and encourage customers to update the information? I went to a Cabelas that was listed as being a place for BoonDocking. iIt was not. I went inside I asked the clerk she said Cabela’s does not own the parking lot and therefore cannot offer overnight camping. i’m assuming that Cabela’s has never owned the parking lot and has never allowed camping because they don’t have the authority so how did this listing get approved in the first place? How does a app like this get a 4.5 rating when it’s obviously a degraded and inaccurate listing and then blame the customer that they didn’t update the software or notify them?

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review, but you have some things wrong. We did accurately check the status of all the stores in our app. Some are listed as camping allowed, some not. But sometimes a stores status changes and we don't know about it. We rely on crowdsourcing for any corrections to the database, and it works well. You did tell us of an incorrect listing, but we did not ask you to double-check your software and database. We did suggest you assure that you're using the latest database, that's all. Maybe you're thinking of another app?
