Ratings and reviews

An app that actually works. Well thought out program, marketing and execution. Uses your location to show you land boundaries and works offline. Pick up your sticker at your local merchant. Thanks!

Awesome app! Just what I was looking for. A nice easy way to see how land is zoned along the eastern sierras. No log ins or credit cards required. Hope to see this app expand to other areas but I rate 5/5!

It's really just perfect and should serve as a benchmark for all app developers.

What’s new
