### 1/5 — Only 2 parks?

*2025-10-18*

There are only
2 parks in the app and it looks like, based on reviews, that it has been that way for a long time - deleting the app, it is not helpful.

### 1/5 — Truly worthless

*2025-08-11*

Can’t think of any other apps that offer so little.

### 1/5 — Just as useless as anything state government does.

*2025-08-01*

This app is just as useless as anything else our state government does. I bet we are paying a pretty penny to keep this app functional. It was just updated 2 months ago…. And the review on here from 2 years ago says it’s missing 98% of the state parks… there are only 2 state parks on this app.

### 1/5 — Hello?

*2025-06-29*

What happened with this clearly unfinished app? Did the funding get scrapped? Only two of 75 parks? And even those two do not have comprehensive information. Embarrassing.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-05-22*

Where are the parks?  Two parks.  App not ready for prime time.

### 1/5 — Only 2 parks

*2025-04-17*

Where are the State Parks? Only two show up. This app is useless to me.

### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Time

*2024-04-23*

Only two choices; Gooseberry Falls or Lake Bemidji. Not currently interested in either one. No option choose another.

### 1/5 — Incomplete

*2023-09-21*

Did the developers forget about this app?  There are 75 state parks yet only two are shown.  This app is pretty much worthless unless you only visit the two parks they created this app for.

### 1/5 — Three home links on the home “page”

*2023-08-16*

Really bad user interface. Not thought through to get you to a accomplish anything.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-08-16*

If there are 75 parks why are there only two available to look at on the app?
