Ratings and reviews

It does what it's supposed to do! There are other apps to mark down observations, but this makes it easy to find specifically your observations on a map. I needed to use map auto-center, and I think that's what was confusing some people. I would like if you could add observations without being at the location, or be able to edit names and such.

Not sure if this is a common problem, but when I get on the map it shows my current location but when I go to move around it pops me right back to being at my current location within a second or 2. Kind of annoying for when I go to use the app to actually look at my marked areas around me to plan a route... other then that this seems to be a good conceptual design.

I don't like that it uses data location data even when the app is off and I'm not using it. This app would only be useful to me if there was a community you could share your finds with. I'll just use Gaia GPS instead, it has more than just a single use and I can justify having it on my phone. It doesn't waste my battery in the background.
