Needs work
Look I love atlas obscura and I use this app literally all the time. It has serious bugs- when you press the options to note if you’ve been to a place or would like to go to it, the app freezes for a time until it’s ok to use again. Very slow. Also, the loading takes a really long time with the ad at the start, like 1-2 minutes. It crashes often, or forgets my login info and I have to restart the app. In general, it’s not very good. I turn to using just the regular atlas obscura page in my browser often when out and about to compensate, but I want to use this app with amazing potential! It just needs a thorough debugging and someone with good coding skills to go through, put some money on this atlas obscura, it could be so so great. Also there should be a rating system for entries- some things on here aren’t really fit for the “obscura” definition, like boring historians get lost, get cooler, find better spots that fit here not just random history factoids that amuse you but nobody else. It needs a clean up and more curating by users.Lost update miffed
Excruciating
It is absolutely excruciating to try to figure this app out. First of all it’s a Google wannabe. It’s literally a glorified Google. You can only pin what is already posted. Meaning if you have been in London, you can only pin the map of places that are available from the list. Absolutely ridiculous. If you want to add a place it has to go through a review, whom knows how long that takes. I am not wasting anymore of my time with this applife_goes_on_
Love this app
I use Atlas Obscura on all my travels. I’ve shared it with many friends. Truly a highly useful app.Podcast visitor
Fantastic Idea, App Needs Work
So basically, this app is a little bit buggy. If you want to make any changes to lists, your profile, settings, etc., you are better off doing it on the website.
Once the features on the app are wrinkle-free, I think it’s a great resource to find new and exciting things to do, even in your home town!thejesster1993
A travel tool essential
It’s been my favorite source to visit different places 😎MizNay

So fun for trips!
Always open this app anytime I’m in a new city. Sometimes spooky and always fun!Kaeli_W
Difficult to use list function
I love AO’s content, but scrolling through the list of sites for a city cause the map to move and the list to refresh. It’s aggravating and makes the app difficult (infuriating) to use in larger cities - if they just fixed it, it would be my favorite travel app.LillieM9898
Atlas Obscura is amazing; the app is a little clunky
I would love to give this app 5 stars - I consider Atlas Obscura an essential travel tool through which I’ve found some amazing places. I’m docking a star because the app has a few minor issues with the interface: the pins are hard to accurately tap on the map view(particularly in places with lots of pins close to each other), sometimes there’s a confusing lag when adding a place to your want to go or have been lists, the list view (as opposed to the map view) doesn’t always show consistent results, among others. None of these little issues are make or break items but added together they’re a little annoying.Bubba Bill B
Neat app, but I’m surprised
You can’t put in coordinates for a trip and explore what’s along the way. Or get a suggested route for, say, historic plaques, ice cream, and cheese within 150 miles. A feature like that seems like it would be a no brainer.Joe the Dr.
