Ratings and reviews

Update: App is working properly so I gave it 5 stars instead of 3. With it's next update, it would be great to be able to look up past incidents by using a search bar and entering a last name, or particular beach/country. This app has been good for a long time except for the past two weeks. The past two weeks, every time I try to pull up "Incidents", the screen turns blank but stays blue and says something to the effect of, "site can't support..." or "no file exists....."; Something like that.

Needs some serious fine tuning and maintenance (like not having updates on donations and the "gifts" I should be receiving.... at some point...also, on my phone Galaxy S9+, the games and puzzles are just black screens) but still, it really is a good app. We live within an hour or so of many, many beaches and I really like having every beach's information on shark activity in the same place. I also really like the shark identification section. (Though I do wish you could scroll through them.)

Lots of crashing. Activity map is completely empty. If I try to search for an activity by location the app crashes. Searching through historical records is painful. You have to keep clicking from page to page. Is this app dead?
