*2021-07-20, version 1.4*

This app had promise, but as of July 2021 it just crashes immediately on startup.

### 1/5 — APP No longer works

*2021-01-31, version 1.4*

Updated my iPhone to IOS 14.4 and this app now aborts every time I open. 👎🏼

### 1/5 — App won’t even open!

*2021-01-31, version 1.4*

When I try to open the app it just shuts down immediately.  I deleted it and reinstalled and still doesn’t work.  Not worth it even if free!

### 1/5 — Not compatible with iPhone

*2021-01-29, version 1.4*

Crashes immediately when opened.

### 1/5 — Immediately crashes

*2021-01-10, version 1.4*

This worked before, not with latest Apple IOS update.  Now it crashes upon opening.  Deleted.

### 1/5 — App immediately crashes

*2020-12-30, version 1.4*

As soon as I bring up this app it crashes, I tried rebooting my phone but had the same results, I deleted the app and then reinstalled it unfortunately this had no effect again this app  only crashes when trying to bring it up.

I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max running the current 14.2 software 

It would be nice if they fix this

### 1/5 — Totally Useless. Developers should be ashamed.

*2020-12-26, version 1.4*

This app has zero purpose other than to waste a prospective persons time. The developers were obviously non caring in whatever their goal or intention was but it was not in line with helping the public with COVID 19 issues. Apple should dump this app and ban the developer from further lame attempts at being productive. Harsh but true.

### 1/5 — Instant crash crash!

*2020-12-22, version 1.4*

It worked well a few months ago when I first downloaded it. I liked the map even though the colors were off a bit. Now it crashes two seconds after I open it. I will defeat it and reinstall after it is updated and fixed.

### 1/5 — Trying to like it!!

*2020-12-20, version 1.4*

Totally support this effort. App now crashing immediately with latest IOS update
