Nice quiet area. Beautiful clean lake no swimming area except from boat. Nice park and picnic area. Excellent fishing.

All the satellite imagery and the trails are set up a date because they encourage the user base to constantly update and upgrade in keep everything on the maps up-to-date current and accurate all the way down to the exact weather conditions or trail conditions and the busyness of the location or the house included some parks are how long some trails are, and it's all very accurate, so it's essentially all the other apps that have been trying to do what they're doing in one

Now that I figured out how to pull up the maps it's very helpful when hiking and walking doing the Five Rivers Metro Parks Trails Challenge. It was a problem to pull the maps up until someone showed me the proper way to access them.

Glitchy. Downloaded the app and granted location permissions. I'm in Ohio, but the whole interface was about California. I tapped where it looked like I might be able to change my location, but it glitched and showed only a white screen. Tried multiple times to change my location from California to Ohio with no luck. Uninstalled. 🤷♀️

So, one year ago, I left a review about the app not recognizing the distance from a trail. It still doesn't allow me to check into a trail. I can see my GPS spot on the map, but when checking into a hiking challenge, it says I'm miles away. I'm forced to use I think I'm at the trail in order to check in.

I was really excited about this app, however, since I have downloaded it, I have only been able to get it work twice, without waiting for the "spinning wheel of death." Most times, it just spins, and spins, and spins, and spins.....and spins...grat idea, but needs some work. UPDATE: The app takes so long to open, that by the time we're done at the location, we're ready to go...and it still hasn't opened...

Does not actually work when you are visiting the parks as it needs internet... even if you download the map when you have service, its confusing and convoluted to try to find the map again without Internet, and then it turns out it only downloaded the base image, not any of the info in the map, so when you try to click on the trails etc. nothing loads because it's waiting for Internet when you are out in nature at the park
