No longer working
by Tyler Chong, 2023-06-08

All of a sudden it only gives me book stores in MD even though my zip code is registered in NJ
by Erik Brown, 2023-01-13

Idea is a 5/5--but currently the redirect link doesn't work and results in a 404 error message. Which defeats the point of the app... I was able to easily delete the redirect link and keep the bookstore webpage link that directs me to the book I'm looking for but I shouldn't have to. Troubleshoot this and I'll make it a 5/5 review.
