Ratings and reviews

I go to Arlington National Cemetery two or three times a week. Older sections can be confusing. I learned of the ANC Explorer perhaps a dozen years ago and downloaded it. I found it to be very useful in locating a particular site in a difficult section. However, currently, I cannot get it even connected to my phone. "Connection failed' the Explorer app informs. This has gone on for about three months - maybe more. Since roads west of TTUS have been closed for repairs, a good app is needed.

"Search unavailable - network connection failed". There is an error, but the problem isn't a network connection. I have full signal bars: enough to download the app, and to leave this review. I tried this morning and a few hours later, same result. The place is great and the staff are wonderful. This app didn't work at all for searching for a grave location.

Concept is excellent. Implementation is lacking. Find a Gravesite feature is nice. I helped someone locate a gravesite number. But actually pinpointing the location on the map didn't work. That's a needed feature. Explore Map was awful. Every time it started zoomed out to world view and slowly zoomed in. But instead of zooming in to my location, it zoomed to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Selecting Satellite or Street view produced the opposite results.
