Ratings and reviews

Some zones are wrong: anywhere I touch in the Parc de Pedralbes shows the "Nu Femeni" statue, as if the whole parc was the statue. Also many of the dots along Passeig de Gracia cannot be touched, only a couple work.

Nice idea but needs improvement. Just connects to website and drains tons of data. Photographs seem from the sixties. Map design is nice.

You can click on a landmark and a description pops up which is great. Unfortunately, any further clicks bring up a blank yellow screen unless you restart the app.
