Ratings and reviews

Quite a few problems with this app: the biggest one being that the description of the app says nothing about this being an app for Oregon State only. Other issues being: 1) clicking on the left hand corner icon (three horizontal lines) doesn't fully transition you to the sub-menu so you're stuck halfway between the main and sub menu. 2) the data provided is only partially human readable and clearly is coming from a database. App needs a major overhaul.

"map" feature starts over Africa. Scroll/zoom to Portland, ZERO food pantries mapped. prompted to "use location" or enter zip code. If you use location, you still have to manually select a county. every time you back out 1 screen, it dumps you back to choosing your location/zip code again. the women's shelters are NOT exclusively for real women.

The app gives good websites and phone numbers as well as a run down of what each service offers but most of the things say something about not having any thing in the area available and so why even have the option on there if it's not an option? Can be a waist of time, I'd rather call and leave the call back number option then anything but 211 is very helpful over the phone I can say
