Awesome, but needs community support

I just downloaded this app and it’s amazing. It’s everything I was looking for in a playground finder app. The UI is easy and clean. I love that it shows nearby parks and includes an aerial view. I love all the filters! I love the sheer amount of meaningful data!! The only problem is that for it to function at its best, it’s requires a community to add data on each park they visit. My area doesn’t have a lot of added data. That’s okay - I’m just going to add it myself. It’ll be my own little notes of what parks to visit. And I’ll try to convince my friends to do the same so we can operate on more knowledge. Thank you for building such a beautiful app!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! You are 100% correct--the app works best when your local community adds data about parks in the area. Convincing your friends to add data is the best way to get better photos, descriptions, etc. right now. We are brainstorming ways to increase participation from the community, as well as how to better automatically add other data sources. If you have any ideas, please feel free to email us at feedback@playscoutapp.com and we will see if there's anything we can do to make the app work even better for you.
