The Best

Still won't load -- tells me I need a network connection but I have full service and WiFi. Please help, you guys are the best!

(Update: changing my rating to five stars bc it magically started working again this morning, yay!)

Love this app but it won’t open

Stuck on the loading screen when I try to open it. Have tried updating it, deleting it from my phone and reinstalling, but nothing helps. I love using this app, please fix! I tried reporting this bug on www.roadsideamerica.com/contact/mobilesupport but that page won’t load either- says it can’t connect to the server.
