Not working on iPhone 13??

App worked fine on my old iPhone 11. But not working on the 13 which is a shame.

It’s great, but...

I really enjoy the fact that I can upload my individual district maps onto a real satellite map and have them all appear on the map in their appropriate places. However, I really hate how it takes forever for all my layers to load onto the map. Also, I would love it if there was a way in which I could download my map as an image file. Other than those two things, this is a really great app which I would highly recommend!

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! If you like, get in touch via the App Store support page (for this app) and we will look into your use case. There could be a couple of reasons for this, most likely a slow network for downloading the satellite imagery.
