### 1/5 — A little too raw to be of any use

*2022-09-13, version 1.1*

Would be great if it allowed one to pull up a map, which it does not. Also to input GPS coordinates in addition to address.  And as a previous reviewer noted, it is not all that accurate.

### 3/5 — Good app. Needs improvement

*2021-01-22, version 1.1*

This app has great potential with a few tweaks. Some of the directions it’s pointing are completely wrong. I think the arrow could be reversed on some. The mileage seems to be correct.

### 2/5 — Some ideas

*2018-11-25, version 1.0*

It has great potential, definitely consider updating the app, I downloaded the app because I thought it was something I could use to tab previous location spots AND futures ones, but how is one supposed to link their ideal location to an event if you only get it’s distance? There should be a way to see what spot you previously marked, like on a map, or at least the name of the location, not just the title. Make the app more interactive, it’s tags and it’s name state more than what is given.
