Froze immediately

I couldn’t do anything with this since it seemed to freeze instead of downloading the first map section. (iPhone SE 15.5)

Really useful!

The overlays are pretty cool, other apps don’t have that. Its also helpful to see what the snow levels are!

Glad to see another free pct app
