Limited functionality
I should be able to do things like see a MAP of counties I’ve visited. Manually add counties that I haven’t visited while using the app but which I have visited before. Allow me to not accidentally turn the map around so that north is no longer up top and have an easy way of fixing it.
No menu I have seen. No options. I really love the concept of the app and so I hope this gets added upon.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and for supporting County Names. You’re right, features like a visual map of visited counties, manually adding counties from previous trips, and an easy way to reset or lock the map with north at the top would make the app much more useful. I’ll be adding these improvements in upcoming updates and expanding the app’s settings and options. I really appreciate you sharing these suggestions.
Very Buggy Ad Machine

Thank you for the feedback. The county lines feature is available as a limited preview in the free version so users can try it first, and full ongoing access is included with Pro. We understand the frustration if you were hoping to keep using that feature without upgrading. The goal of the preview is to let users test it before deciding. If you revisit the app and feel the feature set is useful for your needs, we’d appreciate it if you would consider updating your review.
Huge county label text makes the app almost unusable
Town names are in 8pt font the way they are on Google and Apple Maps. But the county names are in 20pt font, and they don’t shrink when you zoom out. I wish reviews allowed you to post screenshots, because the zoomed out view of the state of Virginia is just a block of a ton of large county labels layered over one another so you genuinely can’t make out any of them.
Please! Make the county name labels responsive to zooming in/out, and please either add a toggle to change the font size from big to small or just make them ~10-12pt font consistently. I don’t think that this would be a difficult patch!
With that, please add a toggle to make the county lines thinner, or make the lines responsive to zoom also.
Lastly, it would be very helpful if you could view the county names written along the lines when you’re zoomed in, like the way state lines are shown on Google/Apple Maps. As it stands, you have to zoom out to view the labels when you’re looking at a county line. But don’t zoom out too far, or you won’t be able to read it at all.
Also, if you added polygons for town boundaries, park boundaries, etc, lines for streets (so you can highlight an entire road instead of only one point on it) + the ability to search by place names (ie “Baltimore Washington International Airport” or “Shenandoah National Park”) I would be happy to pay a monthly subscription fee, because the app would become enormously useful to me.
As of now, it’s not even worth the one-time purchase at $2.99 because the labels are so badly done. I want them fixed or I want my money back.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. The issues you described have been addressed in the latest version. County labels and border lines now scale with zoom, map performance has been improved, and county names are shown more clearly when viewing borders up close. These changes were made directly in response to feedback like yours and should make the map much more usable. Please update the app and try it again. If the current version now works the way you expected, I’d appreciate it if you would consider updating your review.
Not what I thought it was

Hi Jan, Thanks to your suggestion, this feature is now live in the app for Pro users (only $3.99). I’d love for you to try it out and consider updating this review. Thank you again for the feedback! Michael

I asked developer if he could add ability to search an address to plot it on the map to easily see the county and view its marker on the map.
He replied and thanked for the ideas and implemented quickly.
This app allows me to get county info without having to do a separate search separately on websites.
Thank you for the app!
Warm Regards
Response from developer
Thanks for the great ideas! I appreciate the review and was happy I could add these features for you.
Pay wall 😐
Serious misdirect.
How is this allowed?

Using this is much more convenient and helpful. Thank you for creating this app because there isn’t another like this.

I appreciate the review and am thrilled you’re finding my app so useful!
Substantive improvement
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback! I’m using the US Census Bureau official county line data, which does not extend offshore, though you are correct regarding 3NM county jurisdiction offshore for birding, fishing, etc. If you email me at v5cqpsj4e3u4@opayq.com and let me know your use cases, I can see if I can get better data. I’ll also try to get more accurate shapes for streams/rivers if that’s what you need. It’s a balance between the size of the data (and thus the app’s size on a users phone), vs. precision of boundaries.
So handy
Not ready for prime time.
