Needs Major Updates

The Makani app has potential, but it needs major updates. Here are the key issues:

1. Performance: The app often lags and freezes, making it frustrating to use.
 2. UI/UX: The interface feels outdated and navigation is not intuitive.
 3. Functionality: Location data is frequently inaccurate, and the search feature is unreliable.
 4. Compatibility: The app crashes frequently and has issues with newer devices and OS versions.

Please address these issues to improve user experience. Looking forward to updates that enhance performance and usability.

Useful and can be better

The app is very useful to identify buildings during field trip. But the interface lacks ease of use. Also the pin point logo on the map is not so good. Change it to modern once like the once used by major mapping apps lie google maps.
