Ratings and reviews

Thanks for the update! I'm working for DPW and before the update my location didn't show on the map. Right now the street markers are only up at major intersections and other than survey flags it is empty and therefore was hard to figure out where on the map I was before it got fixed. It is going to be fun to watch the city get built over this next week and will be able to mark my favorites on the app's grid as they pop up. It's going to be a great year! )'(

Useful, but you can't see any map legend or click on anything. it'd also be nice for the app to use the compass to help you know what direction you are facing.

Update: app didn't delete favorites anymore, yay for fixed problem! App is great, responsive, and super easy to search! Only gripe I have with it is that the GPS location would almost never show up or it was incorrect. Restarting the app would not help, so it was difficult to locate myself on deep playa.
