★★★★★ "Not Worth the Trouble. Not worth the trouble of downloading, skipping past all the questions & subscription offers. The highlighted things to “explore” are not worth the trouble to find. So many mistakes with wrong pin locations and wrong photos." - Fencegal

Not Worth the Trouble
Not worth the trouble of downloading, skipping past all the questions & subscription offers. The highlighted things to “explore” are not worth the trouble to find. So many mistakes with wrong pin locations and wrong photos.
Support Real Artists
App uses AI ‘art’ slop
Literally just boring Atlas Obscura
Why would I want to be charged to find out where an old school or some gears from a canal are?
Poor map design
In addition to the map not showing highway designation, there are way too many attractions bundled together and lousy filters to narrow it down.
Not what I hoped
I wanted to like this, but had nothing but problems, tracking my location in real time was a challenge for this thing, so either alerts came in after they were passed or not at all. You can’t zoom out on the map to see what other attractions there might be and the lack of street names is frustrating. Why do you have elementary schools listed? That just clogs up the map. This thing also didn’t alert me to an attraction I passed even though the entrance was right off the road I was traveling. This might be more of a history app vs a real travel map and that isn’t what I was hoping for
Short not interesting stories
There are so much history in our road trip. Instead we got seconds long boring non connected stories
No good
Wanted to try it but all it showed in my home town was cemeteries. Also didn’t like that it automatically charges for use. Promptly deleted
Paywalled
Not worth the money. Can’t even filter results without upgrade. Can’t even open app without giving up your email
Awful app
So hard to use
Too nosey
The app can’t be used now without providing personal info. I shouldn’t need to log in and give you my info to get historical marker information.
Horrible
This is the worst app I have ever tempted to use. I was charged twice for the app and have never gotten anyone to contact me back regarding the double payment. The app is not easy to navigate and does not show half of the historical markers within a 10 mile range of my home. 100% waste of money..
Disappointed
Used to be a list of cities you could click on for the markers in that city. Now you have to know the name of a marker. And if you don’t know the name? 🤷
It’s just ok
Could be a lot better. Most of the locations are just places where virtually unknown people lived at one time or another. I live in a very historic city and it’s missing a lot of historical markers. Plus, it really doesn’t give you much information about them. Definitely needs work.
Missing
Missing a lot of sites that are worth exploring. Penitente canyon and natural arch near it
