### 4/5 — Very good but a few things to be better

*2026-07-22*

It’s very good but one idea is a button which sets a route to the abandoned house because otherwise you have to remember the location and then find it on Google maps but apart from that it’s very good

**Developer response:** It’s already there. Press the cursor button in the minimap of the detail screen (scroll a bit down to find it). Now, can I get a 5*

### 4/5 — Super application d’urbex

*2026-07-07*

Ceci est une super application pour les passionnés d’urbex.
Je recommande!!
J’en profite pour vous signaler quelques petits bug que je constate depuis quelques semaines afin que vous puissiez les régler:
Lorsqu’on clique sur certains lieux, il y a les photos qui ne s’affiche pas, le cadre reste gris ou noir, pourtant il y a bien des photos car on vois combien il y en a mais elle apparaissent pas.
Il y a aussi comme problème qu’il est impossible de publier des nouveaux lieux d’urbex, un message d’erreur apparaît disant réessayer plus tard, redémarrer l’application, contacter l’équipe.
C’est dommage car j’ai plus d’une dizaine de lieux a publier…
Et enfin j’ai constaté aussi qu’il est impossible de rajouter des photos sur des lieux déjà existants, un message d’erreur apparaît et dit téléchargement impossible.
J’espère que vous allez vite résoudre ces problèmes et rendre de nouveau l’application 100% fonctionnels!!

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre retour et pour les 4⭐, ça fait vraiment plaisir ! 🙏

Concernant les photos qui restent grises/noires, c'est un problème connu : certaines anciennes images ont malheureusement été perdues. Nous sommes en train de nettoyer ces contenus.

Pour les erreurs d'upload, ce n'est pas normal. Il existe toutefois quelques règles pour les photos : elles doivent être de bonne qualité, ne pas montrer de personnes et éviter les gros graffitis ou dégradations volontaires des murs.

Pouvez-vous nous écrire à **contact@itsabandoned.com** en joignant les photos que vous essayez d'envoyer ainsi que les lieux concernés ? Nous regarderons votre cas en détail pour résoudre le problème au plus vite. Merci encore pour votre aide ! 🙌

### 4/5 — Good App.

*2026-04-05, version 2.3.1*

The outlet(gui) is misplaced on ipad, the app needs some update( i dont have any idea what it could be) to have a bigger community and have more fame around urbex community. The app is pretty good. Works well on a phone.

### 2/5 — False locations

*2026-03-10, version 2.2.7*

Tried going to an abandoned skatepark and it was a false location

### 3/5 — Good but needs UI improvements and a PC version

*2026-01-28, version 2.2.1*

Great app but needs improvements to the ui and movement and needs to always let you upload pictures sometimes it will be bugged and not let you upload anything and it DEFINITELY NEEDS A PC WEBSITE OR APP VERSION

### 3/5 — No locations nearby

*2025-10-03, version 2.0.9*

Good app, a lot of places but none in the area of Royston, shepreth, foxton and melbourn

### 3/5 — No one runs the app anymore

*2025-08-14, version 2.0.4*

Locations aren’t accurate, the email to support is not accurate, the app itself stopped loading locations so the app it self isn’t accurate

### 4/5 — Lag

*2025-08-09*

Ca lag trop mais c tt a par ca rien a dire c la meilleure application durbex jusqu’à la

**Developer response:** Merci ! 😄 On sait que ça peut parfois laguer et on bosse dessus pour améliorer les performances. Ravi que tu la considères comme la meilleure appli d’urbex jusque-là !

### 2/5 — Purchase

*2025-08-05, version 2.0.4*

I purchased the monthly plan, and the app says I purchased it, but I’m still getting ads and can’t make a private list like I’m supposed to be able to. So I basically paid $3.99 for nothing.

### 3/5 — yeha

*2025-08-02, version 2.0.4*

i bought the 34 dollar plan and its not wokring other wise app is cool

### 2/5 — don’t download

*2025-07-28, version 2.0.2*

doesn’t even load the abandoned picture so yu can see what your looking at

### 5/5 — Loading

*2025-07-15, version 2.0.0*

app won’t stop loading

### 4/5 — Great app, buuuuttt…

*2025-07-13, version 2.0.0*

Once I subscribed I still got ads! But overall, this is the best exploration app I’ve ever seen. I’ve visited so many places I wouldn’t even had known they existed!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Was great years ago. Cash grab now.

*2026-01-08, version 2.1.9*

Don’t even bother downloading it’s not worth any of the fees and there nothing free anymore. It’s a waste of space.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-01-03, version 2.1.8*

Spots are all old, and majority of them have been demolished.   Support team is terrible at removing demolished spots.

### 1/5 — Most of it is wrong

*2025-11-22*

I have had a look at your app as I like to go urban exploring however over half of the things I have looked at on your app seem to not exist, and are not abandoned, your UI is hard to deal with as there is way too much going on to understand

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback — really appreciate it.
If something isn’t abandoned or doesn’t exist, you can report the spot directly in the app so we can review and fix it. That helps keep everything accurate for everyone 👍

And I’m fully open to improving the UI. If you want, feel free to send a quick screen recording or screenshot or details to contact@itsabandoned.com — it really helps me make the app cleaner and easier to use.

### 1/5 — why

*2025-10-15, version 2.1.1*

nothing loads dude, it’s crazy annoying

### 1/5 — barely functional

*2025-08-16, version 2.0.4*

always lagging, spots that used to be there are disappearing and the photos dont even appear for half of the locations

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-08-12, version 2.0.4*

I bought the subscription to look at street view and it took the money out but I didn’t get any of the perks of the subscription there was still ads and everything don’t waste your time on this app most of it’s not even accurate

### 1/5 — Paid $35 and still have ads.

*2025-07-20, version 2.0.1*

The title says it all. I paid $35 for the yearly subscription for this app to get rid of the ads and I still have ads. Really wish this would be fixed.

### 1/5 — Nothing in my area

*2025-07-01, version 2.0.0*

There was literally nothing in my area or surrounding cities. I understand why all reviews are not very good.

### 1/5 — terrible

*2025-07-01, version 2.0.0*

do NAWT get ts app.

### 1/5 — Mostly just graffiti and bridges

*2025-06-17*

Out of all the locations near me, only one was vaguely abandoned, but still has regular security visits. The rest were all locations of graffiti or literal bridges.

**Developer response:** Some spots can be hit or miss—we rely on the community to keep things fresh. You can report anything that doesn’t belong, and we’ll keep improving what shows up near you 🛠️

*2026-03-21*

Should add like a thingy that says how to get in thats all

About the “how to get in” — we don’t provide entry instructions for safety and legal reasons 😅 But you can check the **“Good to know” section** where the community shares useful tips and info about the place.

### 5/5 — Un peu mal optimisé mais sinon c’est un énorme W

*2025-08-01*

L’app est vraiment bien la seule chose qui lui manque c’est de l’optimisation NÉANMOINS cela depend du téléphone et du fait que je viens de lancer l’app pour la première fois alors que mon tel est deja chaud sinon je recommande vivement 🗣️‼️🔥

**Developer response:** Merci pour ton retour 🔥 Tu as totalement raison, les perfs peuvent varier selon le téléphone. Je bosse à fond sur l’optimisation pour que ça tourne nickel partout. Trop cool que tu recommandes l’app, ça motive fort 🫶

### 5/5 — Overall a good app
