### 5/5 — Great Travel Tool while in the pandemic for sure!!

*2021-07-03*

What a cool app!! I travelled extensively throughout my life and at 53 and dealing with the pandemic, I wondered if I would ever have the chance again…then I found this little gem. Great job Boyen Penev (Dev) and thank you for putting in reach three of the places I’ve never gotten to visit yet. This would be great for teachers!!

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2019-01-04*

I think overall it is a really good app and but maybe they can add a few more sizes to see, maybe they can also add a few more monuments.

**Developer response:** Thanks you for your review :) The sizes were picked so that you get the real life version of the monuments, so that they fit within a small area, like a backyard, and the smallest one - on a big table, or on the floor of a room.

We are working on getting more monuments in the app. They do cost to get and the app is free, so please be patient :)
