Ratings and reviews

It is great to have this to help remember our war dead. However I'm finding it hard to locate War Grave sites using the search. For example I'm travelling Mons to Calais tomorrow and wanted to see which sites might be close to my route (I daresay I will see some anyway). Why not allow the app to display the map with all sites without picking location first, or allow search within distance of a location? eg Ypres + 80 miles would give me the map I need - currently shows only 4 in Ypres area.

Has been working fine previously but without me making any changes to settings it now continually fails to download files. On checking permissions settings on my android phone it tells there are no restrictions. Yet when opening the app i receive a quick flashed up message saying i have restricted the settings ?! When i attempt to download files (certificates and reports) the progress wheel continually circles then fails. n all issues raised on reviews i can't find a single reply ?!

**Uninstalled** Downloaded Android version and it never worked. Continues to fail and kick me out when picking the Search box. First attempt prompted me to clear cache, which I did, but that did not change anything. Just continues to dump me out and close the app. Sad really as I was hoping to locate my grandfather from WWI
