Great idea - frustrating app

I saw this app on Reddit and it sounded amazing. I’m visiting the opposite side of the country and it seems like a great way to discover things to do/see. The problem is: in order to use the app it forces you to enter your home address and then takes you to that location completely negating the purpose of using the app: discovering things to do and see where you are.

Response from developer

Hi there, I'm sorry if the app was confusing. You have to enter your home address and go through the initial onboarding process (one time) as a way of getting you used to how the app functions. After that, you can press the target button to zoom to your current location and see all the stuff near you or reload the app. Post-onboarding, you the map always opens up to your current location. I hope this helps :)
