I would first like to say this app is very helpful. Being able to have classroom locations and bus stops is really nice. However, the class room pins aren't completely accurate. They are close though, which helps get a general direction of where to go. User-generated data would help solve this problem, like them moving pins to the correct location for approval. Last thing, is there a chance you could make a port for iOS? A lot of people could benefit from it, especially incoming freshman.
