Misleading

It should be named the landmark atlas. All of the blips on the map are known historical sites. Yeah sure outsiders might not know about them but a quick google screening could give you all of these places if you’re a traveler. I thought this app was about the rare and obscure. Old unused roads and decaying buildings / infrastructure that tell stories of old ways. Old stone building frames telling stories of past settlers and their journeys. Old roads and bridges which give explanation to how a community worked 200+ years ago

The Most Interesting App!

It made my trip to Venice WAY cooler

A bit glitchy

The app worked alright when I first downloaded it, but it’s logged me out three times today. Also, the feature to report a location as permanently closed is not working, which is a bummer, because I keep running across locations that are empty storefronts.

Good and frustrating

Love the idea of finding the odd spots wherever I go. I enjoy the off the beaten path places.

However, do not expect the app to be accurate. I tried to suggest an edit of something I know for a fact to be wrong and the submit button does not work. So I tried adding it as a tip. The Tip submit button does not work either.

Great app, but lots of bugs

Amazing app with tons of interesting locations. App is very buggy though.

Still broken

Their map shows me nothing making nearly worthless.

A bit disappointed

I’ve been so looking forward to finding an app that actually is pretty decent. This app has a great concept unfortunately it does not give you the option of setting your location and mileage for distance for anything that is within your area. Most of the things that I have come across are over 1000 miles

Places submitted. Never respond slow app

I’ve sent in multiple places with photos and websites. No response. Really disappointing. They also reject things [ ie abandoned hotel on an island) but choose stupid things that are about as obscure as white bread.
What this app needs is better vetting, better responses and at least one person that could answer email.
And. Make it faster. Load time is really bad. From NYC to Prague. It’s too slow.

Love this app

I love this app!! I always find so many awesome hidden gems and I found out about it on Delta Air Lines flight when I had logged into their wifi- they were promoting

Itchy feet

Adored the site for many years. However the app would be more enjoyable if it expanded to fit an iPad screen. My old eyes aren’t what they used to be.

No app support at all

I downloaded this the other day because my passion is taking road trips down back roads, and finding New places. Downloading the app. I had a couple of places that I wanted to add and it would not allow me to update. I sent feedback emails twice and still no response. What’s the use if you can’t follow up with your support…..

Fun Travels

I love this app. I discovered it a few years ago when I planning a hiking trip with my grandson. Since then, I’ve found dozens of unique and interesting places to take the kids. Even added a few of my own. I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could.

Nothing loads

I can’t get anything to load on either the app or the website. Search function comes up with nothing and the map has points on it, but the entries are blank when you click on them

Bugado

Para iphone está pessimo, não funciona login e tudo está em preto ou branco sem contexto ou conteúdo

Unintuitive App

I love Atlas Obscura, but this app sucks azz. It lacks a search bar so I can’t look up places I want to go to, so what is the point? What a huge disappointment

Will not work on my device

Just never loads

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.

Do yourself a favor and just use the website.

My go to App

Traveling in my van since 2021 full time and this app has provided my 5 years of fun. I tell everyone I know that they need to use it. I even enjoy it oversees.

Cannot add POI

As per the FAQ, there is no drop pin.
