What Happened?

I have tried several times to open this app but nothing happens. I've used it and loved it in the past but for some reason, it is completely greyed out. Is my iPhone 11 too outdated?

Tried several times

Have installed this several times, but refuses to search. First version a few years ago was great. Could pull up the area I was in on the map, ask it to search for campgrounds, and I would see all in the area. Pretty easy. Then it quit last year, would time out. Tried downloading a current version and first got a fantastic satellite image, but no identifiers to give ma an idea of where I was looking at. Tried again and now won’t do anything but let me choose what activities.

In north america, or just USA?!

Can’t identify simple bike paths outside of USA… not worth the try.

No longer works

The app just closes itself after a search is initiated.

Good filtering but data may be outdated

I’m looking around at parks in Southern Maryland and around Northern Virginia and many of them have bad URLs or, in the case of one park in MD, permanently closed. The ability to filter by activity seems good but I haven’t verified the accuracy of data.
