It needs a serious effort at updating. After Covid, many shops went online only and did not return to in person in store shopping. There are many closures due to not weathering Covid, economic issues, and retirement. Some have reduced hours or changed location. Perhaps there’s some new shops? It’s been very irritating, time consuming, and inconvenient to do extra driving only to find a shop closed or gone. ### 1/5 — Useless app *2023-09-26, version 1.5* After many attempts to download and use I give up. Using an Iphonr 11 it looks like it has downloaded but closes and shuts down before ever being able to explore the app. Appears like it Should be a nice app if it worked. ### 1/5 — iPhone incomparable *2023-09-13, version 1.5* I have, not once, been able to open the app on my ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-08-31, version 1.5* When you use the app or go to the web page all you get is a white page that says Error Connecting to Database. ### 2/5 — Iphone difficulty *2023-07-05, version 1.5* I have had difficulty with the app on my iPhone & I have a phone that says it's compatible with. Very frustrating ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2023-06-02, version 1.5* Does not work on my iPhone. ### 5/5 — Terrific *2023-02-13, version 1.5* Works perfectly on my iPad, however on my iPhone the app closed down several times upon opening it. Can’t wait to use this on our trip around the US. ### 5/5 — Looks great *2019-05-29, version 1.5* I just downloaded this app but it looks very comprehensive and useful. I plan on using this quite often since I’ll be retiring soon and traveling the country. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t open/do anything *2017-11-10, version 1.5* App doesn’t open/do anything. It’s a blank white screen. ### 1/5 — Needs an update!! *2016-09-25, version 1.4* I used this app successfully for over a year but now it no longer shows the info bubble with a touch on the red pins or dots. This makes the app useless. Please fix! ## Frequently asked questions about NeedleTravel ### What does NeedleTravel do?
