1. Keep up the good work!I tried this app for a couple months,and cannot count how many times I walked or took a bus to one of their listed churches or resource centers that offered showers or clothing or food giveaways,only to find they changed the hours or days ,and couldn't help me! Finally,I gave up on the Strappd app because I couldn't count on the information in it.
2. The information is top drawer and the app is easy to use to find shelter for the night.Utilized correctly in every city by adding all of each city's programs could make this the best and most useful app for anyone that needs any type of assistance in any city.
3. This takes a bit to organize then it works very well for finding services in your area with decently updated information.
4. I was houseless and wish something like this was out there when I needed it I would love to share my ideas to help better this and make you number 1!!Needs more options it only gives you schedules most know of.
5. I highly recommend this app for anybody who needs resourcing whether it's closed or food or housing this app can be very helpful!!!"net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED" when going to any website through the app.
6. So I am very positive that none of these services are available for the ENTIRE SAINT LOUIS, MO area.
7. There is, however, next to nothing for my area, though I know of several resources and food pantries in my town that failed to come up.
8. As a matter of fact, when I clicked on food pantries , it said that there was nothing in my area when I can think of five off the top of my head.
9. I tried and retried all options and all it says ( paraphrasing) SERVICES NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS LOCATION.
10. This is an ANDROID DEVThis stupid app automatically opens EVERY time I open Google and I can not find it in my computer app list to delete it.
11. This right here alone shouts SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG cuz I can assure the devs that there is all kinds of help available.
