### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-01-09, version 1.0*

I’ve download and deleted the app a few times trying to make it work but it just won’t open, just get a blank white screen with purple boarder

### 1/5 — Poor

*2024-12-08, version 1.0*

Very poor - I’ve tried loading several times and just get a blank screen with a purple border

### 2/5 — Needs some refining

*2024-11-02, version 1.0*

I am a big fan of the woody boards this app is used in conjunction with, but the app does not reflect the quality of the boards at all in my opinion.

It’s quite clunky and not that nice to use. The map integration feels particularly janky.

Please invest more resource into this app. I think it could be awesome.
