User reviews

The app gives an image claiming there is a map. There is no map. The localhost:8080 on the blurry screenshots do nothing. The development mode for this app is hard to use and there's no map. Where there should be a map it is completely blank. The app only allows raw number inputs which are useless. It needs a map.
