App idea

Love being able to easily find playgrounds. Would be nice if you could chance the colour of the pins to know which playgrounds you’ve been to. I like the favourite list, but would like a way to track which ones we’ve been to but didn’t like for my kids age level.

Great App

I love this app. I’ve tried to update data and photos on playgrounds we’ve been too. It has been a lifesaver to find playgrounds while traveling. If I need more info, after I have a playground name I can usually find more info by searching for the playground. So that can be helpful if you need more info than is on the app.

Horrible!

When you first sign in and it locates you- it says “no playgrounds found”. You have to zoom out and then you’ll see some location markers. When you click on one you get an “id number” and the location on a map. That’s it. No name. No photos. No description; oh except for “we don’t have a lot of information on this playground”. If you click on “get directions” it will open Apple Maps… wow. I wish I could give it 0 stars.

OK, but few parks in the UK seem to be completed

Perhaps there are more elsewhere, so keeping it to try when travelling. I’ve tried updating details of a park a few times, but all the text keeps getting deleted after posting which is annoying.

Pitiful

This app is all but useless. We’ve only been in this community for two weeks and we already know where more playgrounds are than are featured in this app. No pictures. Just hasn’t attracted contributors. Because it’s basic.

Great app but

This is a great app for finding playgrounds near you. It would be nice if you could tick off where you had been and the favourite button doesn’t seem to work but good idea

I should be a spokesperson

I LOVE this app!! I swear I keep telling everyone I know about it. I wish this was made when I nannied because we would just drive around aimlessly looking for a cool park!
I’m always talking about how neat this app is and how you can search for certain things if you want.
It’s easy to use, and FREE!

Great app, some minor bugs

Awesome idea and app! After all, you have captive audience for free content update - all the parents stuck at playgrounds.

Minor bug: when adding notes, the text shows up black on black background (maybe because of iOS dark theme?)

Great App!

I love the idea and concept of this app. I’d love to see you get more sponsors in order to get more updated information and pictures for the different parks!

We’ve used this several times on road trips and around home and loved it!

Fab little app to find parks on holiday!

Love this little app! Stumbled across it when frantically searching for a park for our little ones to run off some energy on holiday.
We had no idea where the local parks were and this was just great! We found 2 parks which weren’t in any guide books or signposted. It’s also really easy to add photos or info for other park searchers!
Will continue to use this at home it’s great!
Fab invention! Thanks
