### 1/5 — No option to correct misinformation

*2022-04-15*

Launch location created by the app developer himself at Eagle Falls near Tahoe includes wrong information with no way to flag/comment on the fact. Flying is not permitted in designated wilderness areas per the USFS: “Wilderness Areas  Drones cannot launch from, land in, or be operated from a designated Wilderness Area.” Please add an option to comment on or flag unsafe or illegal environments. Following the law is what allows us all to continue to enjoy drones. The more pilots that fly based on bad info or even willful disregard will result in everyone suffering more heavy handed regulations.

**Developer response:** Thanks for leaving the review. The spot @ Eagle lake has been posted after consulting the park rangers @ Tahoe. As per regulations there, there is a limit from where take-off and landing cannot be done near Emerald Bay State Park. If however, you choose to go near desolate wilderness, you are allowed to take off and land near Eagle Lake.

That being said, this was done years ago. There is an option to discuss in the trail, where you could specify that the rules have been updated.

### 2/5 — Empty in USA

*2022-04-14*

I tried using this app and it couldn’t find any tails or locations on the map with in like 200 miles, not sure what the point of it is. Glad it was free as a promo. Maybe it works better in other countries or I’m just not getting what it does.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review. I think the issue was the load, if you try again it should load. In fact, the US has the most amount of trails. Please do give it a shot again and let us know.
