Great for gardeners & farmers

This is a simple App that lets you know where you stand with rainfall and drought. Menus are easy to navigate (though like many apps, if you have big calloused fingers it’s hard to be precise with checking boxes)
If i could ask for one thing it would be bigger check boxes (whatever they are called) to select. And maybe a “close menu “ button? I quickly figured out that touching the map closed the menu.

Menu in the way

There is no way to close menu which covers the map rendering app useless
