If you are a fan of visiting interpretive and commemorative presidential sites — the unusual, the mainstream, or the downright puzzling — this app is a must-have. I have used this app on every road trip and vacation for the last nine years. My favorite features are “Been There,” where you can keep track of all the attractions you’ve visited, and the GPS pinpoints that help you find the sites in the first place. The latter is especially helpful when searching for offbeat presidential places you’re unlikely to find on a regular map or brochure.
