Great—when it works
About three weeks after I got it, that annoying error message—SOMETHING WENT WRONG, TRY AGAIN—started coming up on many, many buildings I tapped. Now it reads “Content coming” and it’s been like that for a while. I love the app, when it works. Looking forward to having that new content. Thanks!
PS. Just got a response from the developer... good stuff coming! Thanks!

RocketB175, Thanks for updating your review. We’re working on a fix for that issue. The new statement that you see is just a placeholder until we get the data issue sorted out. I’ll update you once we come out with a new release.
GREAT App
I've been using this App for over a year and have been so impressed that I donated $ to help it continue to grow. Alway new data and innovations.
Update: Still as good as ever. Better even. Still a donor too. Try it. You'll like it. No, love it.

Thank you!!!
I love this app, it adds extra sparkle to my walks
I especially enjoy the collected stories
Great—Until it’s not
When it’s working, this a great app ... great photos, etc. Nevertheless, more than half the time searches or clicking on a map item yields “your search as timed out.” Very frustrating.
FDR Drive
An email betraying look at the FDR over the course of many years.
Memories
Having survived a heart attack, a stroke, and heart transplant, this app is restoring the wonderful memories that have been scattered in my brain. Thank you...:
Works now
Excited to delve into the history
This is amazing. We need this concept for more aspects of public space
I love this app. As someone studying policy and the built environment, this app really brings to life the past and present. I just wish it didn’t crash so much, and that it was easier to find walking paths and navigation on the ground. Overall amazing though, thank you urban archive for creating it.

Thanks Eliza! The latest version of the app should fix the crashing issue. Please let us know if you have any additional issues. Thank you!
Fantastic app!!!
I love how interactive and thorough this app is! Such attention to detail and brilliant set up! If you like learning the history of NYC, try this app!
It’s like someone made this app for me
I really love this app. It’s one of my favorite apps ever.
I love New York and part of that is just knowing about all the history that surrounds me when I’m there. Once upon a time there was another app called History Here that would notify you of nearby historical sites, and I always lamented its loss. Urban Archive created this app and it is absolutely echelons above History Here, and that’s an incredible feat. I’m so thankful for it.
