Ratings and reviews

As described by someone else, the font is apparently the same color as the background? It appears this is the problem IF you have the phone in dark mode. Switched mine to light mode, and the type is a super light grey. This may actually have something to do with custome color settings too?? Will have to investigate. Would love for that to be fixed. I prefer my phone in dark mode. Otherwise, AWESOME app and super fun for exploring.

While the app launches, runs, and does display parks on the map, the UI seems to use white text on a white background making it impossible to read. Parks don't have any information beyond the name and I haven't seen any way to update parks beyond user submitted photos, so no there is no text information, description, or schedule available.

Useless- 1st version of this app constantly stopped and closed. It also was missing a ton of parks (they would be on the map and can see the name, but you couldn't add them from the Everglades NPS to several state parks nationwide). Now, I downloaded the update after an email from NPS. ALL MY PREVIOUS BADGES AND STAMPS ARE GONE!! And while some like the Everglades are added, other parks are still not. Nothing for parks on it like maps, website links, brochure info, etc. What is it for then?
