### 3/5 — Good app but needs more IOS support

*2024-03-07*

On IOS you cannot edit, make or implement map changes. App only works 3 days out of a week and crashes constantly. Great tool if you dont want to use CivTak. But definitely need major updates and improvements to make the experience better.

### 1/5 — Promising Potential but broken.

*2022-09-03, version 0.9.15*

I was looking for a solution for local games and events so I downloaded this to test it out this weekend with the group. 

I could not get the app to load at all and received the same error over and over(app was deleted and reinstalled to try and rectify the issue as well)

I then moved onto this app’s website which at least provided the ability to search fields and stores, “set up account” and attempt to add my local field. The account information did not save, adding a field did not save, and the website was clunky and became unresponsive after a short amount of time. 

1 out of 5. Do not recommend.

### 5/5 — Team

*2021-10-19*

Great for team location playing airsoft

### 1/5 — After signing up

*2019-12-05, version 0.7.9*

After signing up all I get is an error message  “error loading your profile profile needs to be checked at least once with the server to continue “

Update... now I don’t get the same error message, not when I complete the user info it just sits and sits and sits and sits and sits then has me do it again

There uptime pages shows that there API is down 80%+ of the time... why does apple allow such crap on the marketplace.
