Great site; lousy app

I went round and round when I attempted to create an account on the Atlas Obscura app. Even after finally beating the gremlins, I was met with no fields everywhere. No map; no history of my visited sites nor any ability to create them. I will enjoy the information and insights while cringing at the effort it takes.

Atlas Obscura

Not accurate

Needs improving

The concept is really neat, but I can’t access my private lists that I created. It defeats the purpose if I can’t access the list I made to see what places I’ve saved. You also can’t add places on the map using the mobile app.

W app

Theres nothing wrong with this website except i cant seem to find the “add place” button

Website great; app TERRIBLE

The interface is poorly thought out (UX specialists exist for a reason). Features are lacking. The features they DO have don’t ever work. I can’t believe they still haven’t fixed these things that have been broken for years.

For a crowd-sourced site, they make it impossible to edit, make corrections, or even add a tip. Why do you have a button to add a tip if you can’t actually submit it?

And again that’s been broken for years.

Do yourself a favor and just use the website.
