Pros and cons of Places Around app for iPhone and iPad

Places Around app good for

I really enjoy this app. Please have an update that supports iPhone 5s screen,
Great and reliable app. Love it and recommend to all. Great job guys.
I was in the middle of nowhere in northern Ontario on my way camping with the wife and it still found what I needed. Very handy
12 major categories with 43 subsections. I like using it when meeting someone 1/2 way between our homes and neither of us knows the area for restaurants or coffee shops, but theres much more to this app too. Its like having an Internet search all mapped out for you.
This app helped a lot when I was in Italy. I use it sometimes in the states too.
Perfect for when I need to find a specific building in an unfamiliar town. Very well made and easy to use.

Some bad moments

This is a terrible app; just freezes and then freezes up my whole phone. Wont delete, and Ive tried everything. Next step is complete reset. NOT HAPPY.
Tested it in my town & its showing places that have been closed for a long while & not showing places that have been opened in the last 6-12 months otherwise I was happy to get a new finders app but useless without up to date info/maps
It has its fair share of misses and businesses that have long-closed. Under pharmacies I have no idea what RPH is, but it is not a pharmacy. Under taxis it shows nothing in the area. There are over 15 taxi businesses in the area.
App launches, but crashes immediately the moment you try to do anything. Reviewed on an iPhone 3GS.
I just returned from a trip moving a family member from Indianapolis to Las Vegas. Had to pay the movers (in cash) after they unloaded. Needed an ATM. First time I tried this app, showed an ATM less than 0.5 miles away in a convince store. Score +1. I had to return the truck, but it was in downtown Las Vegas. Before I returned the truck I needed to fill the tank with diesel. I thought oh great, in downtown Las Vegas. Got out "PlacesAround" and found a gas station within about 1 mile. I mean this is one awesome application!
This is by far the best app on my phone. It is more useful than my gps. I can find anything wherever I am and it will navigate me from start to finish. LOVE it!!!!

Usually Places Around iOS app used & searched for
