Great idea
This app is a great idea, but it doesn’t take into account the nuances of a specific district and no go zones due to traffic, road conditions or traffic control devices. It would be nice to be able to have preferred roads that have less stop signs or less traveled by the public.
Good Potential, Needs Refinement
Overall I love the idea to help train people with area familiarization. It’s definitely one of the most under looked aspects of 911 response as people will rely on google maps. This will help get them to where they don’t need maps to route them wrong or if it’s down, they know where to go.
Downsides:
1. UI is difficult. Typing in addresses for hospitals has its own keyboard VS apple iphone/ipad keyboard.
2. Takes ages to have an address to pop up in your area that’s not 3,000 miles away. Should be location based.
3. Maybe include the option to drop a pin in selected map area to add address.
I think if this app is refined, it’ll have good potential. As of right now, it’s easier to just drop pins in google maps and self test by studying the area.

Great APP
Been using the app for a couple days and I can already tell it's an effective way to learn the roads. I already find myself being more focused on the road and looking at the GPS less.
Almost worth the subscription price
The app is a great idea and I think it could be useful for training, but there is one thing that I feel could be improved on. When being quizzed, you are given multiple choice questions for what your next turn will be on the route. Only one of the options is an actual road name in the district. I think it would be more beneficial to have all of the answers choices be roads that are actually in the area, as it makes the correct answer less obvious.

Paywall
Seems like a cool and useful app, nice layout and tailored to each response category such as fire, ems, police. However, you can do literally anything without paying. Not even demo maps outside of a 3 day trial. Its only $2, but slightly annoying and not something im willing to put the effort in to test.
