### 1/5 — Great idea. Too bad app is terrible and data is old

*2013-07-14*

Previous review was 3 stars but data hasn't been updated in at least a year and the none of the problems have been fixed so this rev gets only 1 star. 

Other than crashes, when you try to zoom in the app often decides to zoom out which gets to be *very* annoying, And the data is so old that tere are restaurants in here which closed in 2012. 

I hate to do it but I'm deleting this.

### 5/5 — Great idea

*2012-02-10*

Great idea and execution. Terrifying data. Will patiently wait for updates and it gets worked out.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2012-01-11*

Map zooms in too far. Crashes.

### 1/5 — Out of date. Abandoned?

*2011-11-29*

Data is out of date. Support email (using link in the app) bounces.

### 1/5 — Disappointed- Keeps crashing

*2011-10-05*

Useful app. I'll change rating to 5 stars if the developer gets rid of the creepy roach in the icon and fixes the crashing problem.
