## Review summary

The app is valued for parade tracking and planning, but reviewers repeatedly cite three drawbacks: intrusive ads, GPS/location inaccuracies, and incomplete parade coverage. It remains useful and popular for knowing when to head out, yet usability is hampered by ad overload and data reliability concerns.

### Pros

- Helps plan and time parades; know when to leave and where to stand
- Generally functional and reliable for tracking even in crowded conditions
- Popular parade-tracking app among locals; widely used
- Provides useful route and timing information for attendees

### Cons

- Intrusive, frequent pop-up ads disrupt usage; many users would pay to remove them
- GPS/location accuracy issues; parades appear in wrong places and updates can lag
- Incomplete parade coverage; not all parades are included and some routes/times are missing or out of order
- Occasional instability such as blank home screen or data loading problems
