## Review summary

ANC Explorer helps users locate Arlington graves with GPS directions and a zoomable map plus photos, enabling quicker visits. However, it suffers from stability issues, unreliable search results, missing navigation controls, data inaccuracies, and inconsistent map/direction behavior. When it works, it's a useful tool; otherwise, navigation and data reliability significantly undermine the experience.

### Pros

- GPS-based directions to graves and quick navigation to sites.
- Zoomable map with grave locations, photos, and site details.
- Generally helps users locate and visit grave sites more easily and quickly.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and stability issues (crashes on open, black screen after update, MyContent crashes).
- Unreliable search results (zero results for known names or grave numbers; search is spotty).
- Missing back button and weak navigation UX (no back navigation between views).
- Data accuracy and currency problems (not always up-to-date; photo/name mismatches; some graves missing).
- Inconsistent map view/directions (map sometimes not viewable or directions unreliable).
