Previously plagued by a few show stopping bugs, all of which seem to be squashed now, as the app is working well. I recommend anyone that wants to step back in time to download this app right now.

The app keeps crashing. Will update it anything changes. Update: received a reply from the app saying the issue has been fixed. I uninstalled and downloaded it again. Same issue; keeps crashing.

Cool app My grandparents live in downtown Vancouver. When I saw this, I went out for hours finding out about the history of Vancouver. I would recommend this to anyone who is going to Vancouver on a trip. (PS Gastown is my favourite)

Love it I love history, and grew up near Vancouver. So cool to see some of the stuff I remember as a kid and things I'd only heard about. Would love to see more Cities added (Calgary?)

Hi Eric. There was an issue with our maps and newer versions of Android. It's fixed now and I hope you'll give us another chance! Thanks. The app keeps crashing. Will update it anything changes.

Fantastic quality This is the best implementation of the then-and-now historic photo concept I've seen to date. App design is crisp and easy to use. The quality of the topics and the depth of research into the walking tours is also impressive, and accessible for a wide audience. Highly recommended!
Time to go on an adventure! I love apps that get me out exploring. Can't wait to do the tours and see the stops both in person and in the past :)
Amazing If you're a resident of Vancouver, a tourist, or just interested in this history of this city...then this app is for you!
Awesome app! Well laid out, just need more older pictures of greater metro Vancouver area for me to go snap the current ones of!
Freaking awesome Love it, but saddened to see all the history that vanished.
Great app I have only had the app for a couple of hours but I plan on spending much more time with this great app
Victoria ? Fantastic ap ...lived in Vancouver in the early 1950's ....here's hoping my home town Victoria is next on the list !!
Loved it This is absolutely fascinating - great idea to see then and now pics
History interactive. Great idea, will be very interested to watch this develop.
Very nice historical app Gives you a fun walking tour of a beautiful and historic city! I don't know why someone didn't do this sooner. Now I have another reason to look at my phone in public. ;)
Fascinating Really enjoy the level of detail in the destination descriptions. Great variety of tour themes. Can't wait for more cities!
Great app Very historical and informative - can't wait for it to come to my area!
