Ratings and reviews

Very disappointing. There's so much potential for digital climbing guides, but this app is just way too buggy to be useful. Using the "back" button typically causes the app to lock up or crash, which makes finding routes very difficult. It's also extremely difficult to find route descriptions - I found them once, after 30 minutes of looking, but then the app crashed and I can't find them again. Unintuitive UI. Maybe the devs could make a FAQ or video on how to use the app?
