Cleaned Up Finally!

It’s a pleasure to visit San Francisco. It’s been cleaned up, go and enjoy yourself.

App froze

The app froze the first time I opened it

Doesn't work

Often when opening the map the app just crashes. Clicking on links on the map just shows a white page. Perhaps consider open sourcing this so others could help with maintenance, if you don't have the time yourself.

Edit

Working perfectly now! Thanks for the developer response.

Response from developer

Hey there, sorry to hear that. I just pushed an update that reduces the size of all images by more than 50%. Would you mind checking to see if that fixes the issue? This app was built on tech that just exited beta a few months ago, so there may be some additional issues that arise. Thank you very much for your patience!

Great app!!!

I'd like to see a "Open Now" filter (similar to Yelp or Foursquare) where the map only shows spaces that are open now.
