This hurts my heart...

Im a truly loyal fan of Jon Levi and his channel. I have watched every video (some multiple times) and am a proud owner of his incredible book...

I just purchased this app after hesitating a while hoping any kinks would be sorted out before I did. Sadly, after only 5 minutes of using the app I am disappointed and regretting my purchase.

The very first function I attempted was to simply use the "SEARCH" BAR to enter queries such as "New Jersey" or "Passaic NJ" or "07070" ... All of which yielded zero results. The map remained as it was - Nothing happened besides the processing bar dragging across the screen.

Fine. So I used my fingers to drag the map over from Utah to NJ to see what amazing OLD WORLD landmarks the app had catalogued in my area...

With all "tabs" clicked to ON (such as buildings, and etc), the entire area of Passaic NJ showed ONLY 4 BLUE MARKERS which turned out to be TRAIN STATIONS (one of which was apparently built in the 1990's - far from "Old World")

I dont live in Passaic but its 5 minutes from me and is LOADED with our beloved "Old World" "Tartarian" masterpieces!!! Im not there much, but when I do go, I find a new amazing building thats clearly HUNDREDS OF YEARS OLD to marvel at and there are DOZENS I have yet to visit...

How does this app only acknowledge 4 train stations in an area that has dozens of these antique buildings STILL IN USE, NOT HIDDEN, and all located a HEAVILY POPULATED CITY...??

To say the least, this was deflating. I also dont see any option to "SUBMIT" images/info to the app database and THAT means the app is of absolutely no use to me...

I feel so terrible writing this, but either something is wrong, or this app isnt ready for a $5 debut since it doesnt even mention ONE of the many many many old world structures in my region.

I wish I could somehow help to fix this, but contacting Jon Levi seems impossible. This was my only option.

Wow I am impressed! Been a longtime fan of Jon Levi and was looking forward to this ever since it was announced, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations! When I travel I like to find places off the beaten path, this app is great for finding those types of spots.
