### 1/5 — A pass for now

*2021-05-30*

I love the concept of this app but it doesn’t work. It shows me no results when I try to search for trails and then force closes. I would love to use this app but as of right now it’s useless.

### 4/5 — What a bunch of lucky Kansans!

*2018-04-24*

I’ve just downloaded this app and and fairly impressed so far. What a nice resource for Kansas nature lovers! I love how I can search using a variety of filters. 
I realize that this must be a pretty new app, but here are  a couple suggestions for updates. 1. Include contact info so folks don’t have to place requests here in the App Store. 2. Include a place for user reviews of trails and events. 3. Allow users to add photos of trails and events. 4. Provide a way users can save interesting trails and events for future reference. 
Thanks for creating this thing and for doing so as a labor of love. I’m looking forward to putting to good use now that Spring has finally sprung.

### 5/5 — Love this app

If you love the outdoors and love getting the family and kids in the outdoors this is a great app to have. You can find cool local trails and local outdoor events. Highly recommend it!
