Con

👎 1. **Outdated or Inaccurate Data**:

👎 - Often, area code applications may not have the most up-to-date information. Area codes can change or new ones can be introduced, and if the application does not regularly update its database, the information it provides could be incorrect or incomplete.

👎 2. **Limited Functionality**:

👎 - Many area code applications are quite basic and may only provide minimal information, such as the location associated with an area code. Users might expect more detailed information like demographic data, timezone, nearby points of interest, or integration with other services, which these apps often lack.

👎 3. **User Interface and Experience (UI/UX) Issues**:

👎 - The design of the application might be outdated or not user-friendly, leading to a poor user experience. Navigation can be cumbersome, and important features might be buried under complex menus. An intuitive, easy-to-use interface is key for any application’s success, and lacking this can be a major shortcoming.
