Pretty, but without a reliable 'near me' (it worked once in a dozen attempts, including no luck after reinstall or removing and adding location position - Galaxy Note 9, fully updated). Also, the find by region really needs a map, I've no clue what is included where, but I mostly know where I am. Had to rely on Google Maps zooming in looking for HS icons. Not great.

Too many sites missing making the app pointless. Just use their website (but call ahead to ensure places are actually open at the times stated!).

No autorotate. Only one pic per location. Map opens in landscape in a fixed portrait window! No member area to 'keep'. Membership card. Some locations have no pictures just a kiddie video!
