No better app for exploring Canada
Absolutely everything you could possibly want for exploring anywhere in Canada. If you’re familiar with the US public land layers in Gaia (USFS sites, NF land), you’ll see similar things like Rec Sites and Crown Land here. AND the team actually replies to feedback unlike other companies out there.

Americans Don’t Use This
I live in Texas and when I loaded up the app, nothing showed. Nothing showed for the entire United States. The only area that had any detail was Canada. So if you live in the US there is not point in getting this app.
