### 2/5 — I bet it's good, if you can open it

*2014-12-03, version 1.0*

I'm sure it's a great app... If you can get it to open, which, unfortunately, I can't.  I'll keep it for a few more days, but if you can't get the glitches fixed I'm afraid I'll have to delete. Sorry! Hope they fix the problems!

### 2/5 — Save your money

*2014-09-02, version 1.0*

Nothing original or creative in this app. You can get same info by searching internet for famous buildings and/or architects.

### 2/5 — Missing prominent icons of architecture

*2013-10-14, version 1.0*

I'm an architect working internationally and this would be handy in my travels, but it's missing things like Fosters HK bank or Corbu's flat in Paris, places ppl in our profession would know about. I wouldn't pay for the premium version unless I see a complete list of the sites within.

### 4/5 — Photomode

*2013-08-23*

more Photos would be great!

### 3/5 — Bloqué!

*2013-07-27*

Après la période d'essai l'application bloque et l'achat de la version payante n'est pas possible...

### 3/5 — Good

*2012-10-31, version 1.0*

Make it supported with iPhone 5. Also, more pictures and better graphics would make it solid. Maybe put basic info like who designed, when completed, & location on the top so its easy to see. Like chart form. Make it like flash cards

### 1/5 — Calismiyor

*2012-03-13, version 1.0*

Server a baglanamiyor

### 3/5 — Maj ?

*2012-02-26*

C'est moi ou l'appli n'est pas du tout à jour (villes, lieux...) ?
Sinon déjà plus que bien pour une appli gratuite, j'hésite a passer a la version payante vu la non évolution de l'appli... Dommage.

### 4/5 — класс

*2012-02-23*

Мне очень понравилось приложение. Буду ждать расширения базы

### 1/5 — Versione inutile

*2012-01-29, version 1.0*

È una demo in cui vedere uno o due monumenti per città.

### 3/5 — TOO EXPENSIVE

*2011-06-17*

Nice trial, but seriously they should sell it $0.99. Five bucks is a bit exessive.

### 1/5 — Non scaricate!

*2011-05-31, version 1.0*

Apparte il fatto che dopo 3 giorni la devi pagare.. Non é per niente aggiornata e per ogni città ci stanno 2 cose..

### 1/5 — Poor performance

*2011-05-28, version 1.0*

With scant information, some mediocre photographs and incorrect addresses, this app does not deliver.

### 1/5 — Scam!

*2025-09-22, version 2.0*

The first two sites I wanted to see were flawed. And they don’t offer refunds!!!

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2015-07-04, version 1.0*

Just spends hours "checking location" regardless of location setting.   Never opens or functions. 
So deleted it to clear memory. 
Good idea, poor execution.

### 1/5 — Çalışmıyor

*2015-04-01, version 1.0*

Boşuna indirme açılmıyor

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iPhone 6

*2014-11-08, version 1.0*

Doesn't work. Just keeps "checking location"

### 1/5 — Needs more, and for less $

*2012-09-10, version 1.0*

I was impressed with the app at first but it lacks details and pictures that could easily be found online through any and every search engine. Additionally I was very disappointed in the 'time limited trial'. If the app was updated with some more content and the price brought down to a dollar or two, it would get five stars. But for now, it gets one. :(

### 1/5 — ???

*2012-07-24*

Acheté la version complète il y a qqs ans. Pas utilisé depuis un certain temps et maintenant: inutilisable, ne veut rien ouvrir, sauf la liste du début. 
Encore une période d'essai, limité dans le temps, mais payant cette fois?
Ça sent la bourbe.....

### 1/5 — Pretty lame

*2012-05-22, version 1.0*

Needs more than just two photos per project. Stupid trial version is a total scam. Just boring. I can find more stuff on the Internet for free. All in all. Total stinker. 👎👎 Two thumbs down.

### 1/5 — Nul

*2012-05-13*

Base de données insignifiante!

### 1/5 — Idioma

*2012-04-04, version 1.0*

### 5/5 — Great!!!

*2011-06-29, version 1.0*

This app has been very useful to me, and I really appreciate it! The only thing I could ask for in addition would be to list some more architects and buildings around the world... For example I didn't see Greenwich, England listed and I would have liked to see the Royal Naval Hospital designed by architect Christopher Wren (whom I also did not see in the list of architects). Another good example is San Simeon, the lavish California estate located in San Francisco, and designed by Julia Morgan. But overall great app for people who are interested in architecture! Thanks again!!!

### 5/5 — Architecture App

*2011-02-19, version 1.0*

With my 14 year old son's growing interest in architecture. This app is an excellent way to get him and myself familiar with outstanding examples.
