16-Aug-19: iOS 9 users, beware! – Coverage? Review

Apparently, the coverage maps provided are contained within the app, not downloaded on demand when accessing the app. The good news: You don't need cell data or an Internet connection to look at the coverage maps. The bad news: The maps are updated only when the app is updated. (They have added a subscription service which might change that, but most of us use this app once in a blue moon, meaning that the subscription price would just not be worth it) (Think about it: When would you use this app? Only when traveling AND when you may be considering switching cell phone service) But that is a second piece of bad news: As of this writing (16-Aug-19), the current version of the app is for iOS 10. This means that those of us still using iPhone 4S or iPad 2 (iOS 9) are stuck with out-of-date coverage maps. Given the structure of the app, I do not know how they could fix it, if they wanted to. I do know that, as a reference tool I might use once or twice a year, I do NOT want to get involved with a subscription service. On the other hand, on my iPhone SE, I fully expect that the coverage maps are up-to-date. I just have to stop using the app on iPad 2.
