### 4/5 — Zoom works plenty and Intuitive Built In

*2023-07-18*

Great starter platform. Thank you. Any way to add horse fence, goat, welded/woven wire, smooth wire, insulators, fiberglass t-posts, dead-man brace, & different diameter option for pipes to be driven or concreted at each spot?

### 3/5 — Just need more zoom and add gate to layout

*2023-03-28*

If this had a better zoom function and if you could overlay a gate image to the layout, this would be 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Not intuitive at all

*2020-07-26*

Tried using this app but you have to add an address. Then you can’t zoom in enough. Not good if you just are trying to draw a fence

**Developer response:** The app will use your current location if you allow it to use location services.  It asks for permission the first time you run the app.  As for the zoom feature, it uses Apple's map services which typically allows for very detailed zooming. Have you had issues with other mapping software?  I feel that a 1 out of 5 is a little harsh for having to manually type in an address, especially if location services has been turned off for your app. 
For the not intuitive comment, maybe and probably.  There is a lot going on in the app, but it does its job and has a lot of features.
