### 5/5 — Love it - but constantly shuts down and restarts

*2026-08-18*

Thanks so much for creating this app! My only constructive note is that the app shuts down and restarts every few minutes when I’m browsing through a long list of camps or events, so I then have to reopen it to the correct burn and then try to find my old spot and start over again. If this bug gets fixed, it will be perfection.

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly iOS

*2026-06-24, version 2.125*

Crashes constantly iOS

### 2/5 — Crashes far too often

*2026-02-05*

Well, I appreciate the effort put in by the participants who creates app, I’m gonna be blonde… It crashes way too often… In planning my first evening at Love Burn 2026, I’ve had the app crash at least 10 times.

### 5/5 — Absolute game changer

*2025-07-28*

This app is genius. Has not impacted my immediacy at all…just gets me out of camp more!

### 1/5 — Great idea, sadly doesn’t work

*2025-05-06*

Doing anything, it keeps freezing and then closes and restarts.

### 5/5 — Best app for any burn

*2025-01-31*

All the features you could want and then some!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-09-14*

Was going to come leave a review to bring up the zoom bug where it would go back to the previous page but I just noticed you already patched it. Legend. No notes lol. Can’t wait for next year. Keep it up.

### 5/5 — The Perfect Playa App

*2024-09-10*

I’ve had other BRC apps and this is amazing. The location tracker helped me get out of an absolutely blinding whiteout during strike, the favorites are easily organized and helpful. Flawless. Thank you. (Note: the cat artwork is marvelous)

### 5/5 — Useful for navigation

*2024-09-09*

Useful for quick sense checking of locations you are trying to find

### 5/5 — 5 star Burn!

*2024-09-09*

Loved being able to save events I wanted to attended and to see things that were happening close to me in real time. Extremely useful app and I’m thankful to the team for gifting this app to us!
