Decent could be better

All the regulation is obviously good and matches the actual CFR. BUT!! The search function is trash. I’ll search a regulation, and at least 10 unrelated ones pop up before I find the one I was looking for. Like, it cannot be that hard to make a half-decent search function.

Display Going Blank

Currently the app must be shut down and restarted to look at any regulations, as the display is blank.

Search functionality lacking

Nice to have the ability to bookmark but the search functionality of this app leaves a lot to be desired.
