A really good app could use a couple more features. or maybe I just don't understand how to search by all counties in a state at once.

It would be a cool if there were less ads and more features. I got an ad simply by tapping the "upgrade" option to remove ads. lame. pro version is not worth $5.99. hopefully it will improve.

Clunky. Aggressive, intrusive ads. Difficult user interface. But it does work and there are surprisingly few of these that actually work. There is a superior mine app that's been available... but for some reason that does not work on my current phone.
