Poor photo features and user experience – The Dyrt: Tent & RV Camping Review

Simply put, the ability to view photos is terrible. I’m trying to love this app as it has potential but the user experience is tortuous. Why can’t we view photos in landscape mode? More importantly, why can’t we zoom in on photos where users are posting photos with campsite information booths/boards? Additionally, I HATE that the app clears out my last active session. Every time I’m conducting a search or researching an area, then for whatever reason I get pulled away (phone call, responding to a text, knock at the door), this app basically reboots when I reopen and have to start over. Lastly the MOST ANNOYING THING, when searching in a specific area on the map and clicking on a campsite icon, why does it randomly zoom into the map?! It doesn’t even zoom into where I clicked but some other random nearby area on the map?!?! I keep having to zoom out to continue to browse other campsites in the search area. Simple features would greatly improve user experience but instead, I find using the app utterly infuriating. I’m not exactly sure why this app is rated so highly. I often use other apps such as Campendium, iOverlander, free campsites dot net, Hipcamp, etc. because of simple usability issues plaguing this app.
