### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2020-01-13, version 2.0*

This app is a great idea.  It would be helpful if the sites that are listed on one page/window were also identified on the map.   Otherwise there’s a lot of back and forth.

### 1/5 — It seems like they started an app but never finished. There is nothing if an value on it

*2019-05-19*

Completely useless. I wasted three minutes of my time looking at it.  Must have been a government program paying someone to come up with an idea, but nobody checked to see if it had any relevant content. 
It's hard to believe that this made it as an app in the first place.
