Not great
Just got the app and already discovered the map for Hyde Park doesn’t work. Some pins show up on a blank page and even the pins are hit or miss. Haven’t looked at other neighborhoods but disappointed so far. Also there is no entry for the historic Westinghouse Plaza nor the former racetrack in Hyde Park. Both very worthy historical spots of interest.

Nothing else like it
App is way better after the update, sometimes pages take a little while to load but I’ve got time. I wish the tiles on the discover page were more interesting. Great app over all. I love being able to look at the map of Cambridge and see all the pins and check out what’s what. I wish the pages for the different buildings had more pictures.
P.s. No LeCorbusier Carpenter Center???

Thanks, glad you found the updated version! The Discover tab is now updated per your feedback - it's a classic balancing act between ease/speed of use and how it looks, and we agree that more is more in that case. The Carpenter Center is in the Harvard guide, as well as the Harvard walking tour. Check it out - with commentary from Harry Cobb, we think it's one of the best entries. (We decided to separate Harvard from the West Cambridge guide - together, they have over 200 sites!)
AIA Guide to Boston App
This app has never worked for me. Requests for support go completely unanswered. I am sorry I bought it.

Apologies, v1.0 fell out of date while we worked up v2.0. The updated version is now available - we hope you'll download it and give it another try. If you do, please let us know your thoughts!
Super cool app
This is a very cool app for visitors and also locals, featuring Boston locations as well as many in the greater Boston area.
You can search by architect, by neighborhood, etc. Lots of great content.
One thing to be aware of: at present, you must have location services turned on when using the app. If you set to “never,” you can’t see any of the content.
Definitely worth paying for.

Thanks for the nice review, and for the helpful feedback!
My new favorite app!
I love how I'm alerted to interesting buildings as I approach. Who knew there were so many amazing stories right in Harvard Square or the South End?! A great app for travelers and long-time residents alike!
