Trash app

This app is trash, all the taxes we pay to Chicago and this is what we get. It won’t let you input address.

Normally this app works fine, it’s very glitchy but gets the job done. Recently it has been showing a pop-up staying that there is “No Network Connectivity” though I have been on working WiFi and cellular. This makes the app entirely useless.
