1/5Does Not Work!
I bought this app because of the consistently great reviews and because its information is based on Wikipedia. After installing the app all that it did was spin endlessly providing no data whatsoever. I don’t live in an obscure location. I live in New York! So I restarted my iPhone 6 Plus. Same result. So I uninstalled the app and then re-installed it. Same problem. Am I really the only person to encounter this problem? That would be very hard to believe. Are all the great reviews the developers own hype? I hope not. I have contacted the developer and I will modify this review if the problem can be corrected.

5/5Use it constantly, happy it’s updated for X
When traveling, it’s an amazing way to find things that outside of tourist zones. Wandering through towns, looking up historic buildings, finding notes that would elude even the best guidebooks.
