Ratings and reviews

It does put everything nicely on a map. You can display where you've been separately from where you want to go and then everything that's out there. My wish to make it an even better app is different symbols for where you've been, where you want to go and what's it there, all together on the main map. what I think is really cool is the developers actually reading these reviews and responding. That brought you to a 4 star review. Thank you!

I love the content but the app is not great. The search feature is really bad. If I enter a city name, the purpose of doing that is to center the map on that city so I can browse places on the map near that city. Instead, the search function takes forever, like it's searching the entire database for instances of those words in all place names and description. It's a really poor user experience. In addition, the app really needs to show you places along a route but it can't.

Downloaded for all of a day. Search feature only brings up two places for any destination, no matter how broad (typed in 'Aarhus, Denmark' and 'Paris, France' and got two results each). A large amount of the places listed are also torn down or illegal to go to, meaning they should be taken from the website instead of continuing to show it as an active location.
