Please restore “save my trip” and offline mode

I had started using this app to save my upcoming trip to Western Canada. After the update my app data for the trip disappeared, I can’t favorite parks anymore, and I can’t save my trip offline.I like the content but it is a bit slow to load certain pages. It seems like this is now an app viewer for web content. My understanding is that some parks have limited cellular so having an organized trip with offline content would have been very useful. I will need to rely on ebooks and other apps now to reference my trip.
Requires location sharing to see map
Roger LL
I can’t get over the location requirement to browse the map. Why should you need to know exactly where I am (down to neighborhood) in order to plan my trip in another province? Why would a public agency not allow us to just get information about our parks system that we have paid for?Could not get past this requirement to use any desired app features. Will eagerly re-review once fixed.
Developer Response
Hello Roger. The location services feature of the app is optional. Once you select "do not allow" the app to see your location, the maps will be visible but without your location pin. We hope that this helps resolve your issue.
Camping reservations
Dookie 2x
Love the app and ability to research parcs. Would be wonderful to be able to search and make camping reservations in app.
Developer Response
Thanks so much for the kind words! We’re glad you’re enjoying the app. While reservations aren’t available directly in the app, we’re looking at ways to make camping info even better.
