Amazing app for Urban Exploration
If you’re looking for a simple way to find abandoned locations with tons of history in your area, this is the way to go in terms of using the internet. The more places you explore, the more that you unlock and that’s a feature I haven’t found (that works so well) on any other app before. This should have existed years ago! The app is even so polished, and I hardly ever find issues with it since I’ve started using it. I really appreciate that other users can upload their own images and messages along with their exploration to let people know about the ins and outs of certain areas. I’ve already been to so many locations I didn’t even know existed in my area, and the community is really thriving in NYC.
My only complaint would have to be (I’m assuming) that you have to upload your memos while you’re still by the building! I took my photos of the location, and it was only when I got home I realized I hadn’t uploaded any images to the location. I went all the way there and couldn’t get my points for it or upload the photos I took, so I might have to drive back at a later point just to get them. A bit of a bummer but that’s just a good thing to know prior to leaving the area. I understand it as it helps make sure people aren’t just uploading memos from previous Urbexing experiences and ensures that they’re actually visiting the location. Overall, an amazing app and gives so much freedom and leeway to the Urbexing community. I can see this being the reason a lot of people pick it up as a hobby, and probably will be the first Urbexing experience for newbies as a whole. Very cool. Please always continue to update this. I see this being just as big as Geocaching in the future with more advertising and hardware updates!

Response from developer
Thank you! Yes, we made it a requirement to be at the spot to create a memo, it's more authentic and also useful info for other explorers that someone has recently visited the place for real. You can still upload photos to the gallery, but yeah to get points to the memo you need to post it while you're there. We'll come up with other ways to contribute though:) Thank you for the kind wishes, we'll keep working hard to bring the best experiences we can to the community!
