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.
Response from developer
Apologies, v1.0 fell out of date while we worked up v2.0.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!
Informative and easy to use
This guide provides multiple ways to experience Boston's architecture---choose categories like architect, neighborhood, style, BSA award winners, and more. I love that i can choose to have the app alert me when I'm near a building of interest.
Can't wait to discover more
My husband and I just tried it on Comm Ave and found out that what seemed to be a very bland building was really very interesting. We walk all over Boston and look forward to more discoveries!

An amazing way to experience the city.
This app gives tons of content - where ever you find yourself in Boston, there's a something new to see and to learn. One forgets how many beautiful buildings we have in Boston.
Perfect Guide to Boston's Buildings
This is a fun guide! Enjoy building gawking at a whole new level. Fills you in on the impressive, the beautiful, the interesting and the funky buildings and places that you encounter as you bop around the city. Wonder no longer as you wander.
Terrific app!
Works as advertised, entries are well-written and interesting.
Five stars!
A great & convenient guide to Boston's wealth of architectural sights-to-see.
