Ratings and reviews

Perfect for finding friends and relatives interned at Arlington. Data on service member, plot, map location , and inclusion of headstone really round out this app. Only thing I find frustrating is that the program tines out automatically after a couple minutes and I have to go back and enter all data on service member again. Can't find a setting on the app to leave the program open and running while I am walking to a plot on arlington.

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.
