Found a glitch

Sulphur Molten UN 2448 can be classified as class 9 or class 4.1 the app only shows class 4.1

Paid version?

I ain’t paying for a book I can get for free. Get bent.

Good but needs help

Data is easy to find. However, plume map pin can’t be moved nor is entering lat and long manually accurate. More than a mile off. This is a critical component when determining a valuation and downwind concerns. FIX IT

Glossary

Great app easy to use but a glossary feature would be a game changer

Print feature needed

The app is really helpful but needs a print feature.
