### 5/5 — Great idea

*2022-01-03, version 4.3*

Great to find interesting places

### 2/5 — Good idea, poorly executed

*2021-10-28*

Information in the app seems to be interesting, with places to visit. 

However, dark mode causes the category screen to be unreadable with black text on black background. Such a basic oversight makes me wonder what else was missed. Knocking off stars for clear lack of testing.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking your time to review the app. 

I see the problem with the dark mode and it will be corrected in the next database update. The app was written long before the dark mode was available. Updates since the initial release have mostly been to update the database with the latest Wikipedia/Wikivoyage articles. 

Thanks again.
