### 3/5 — Itinerary mapping could use some help.

*2025-11-09*

The mapping of the itinerary has one big limitation: you can't pick a start point - it requires you to use location services and picks the start point as the place you're currently located. Now, I'm currently 1,000 miles away from the Blues Trail and would like to evaluate routes to different markers ahead of time. Can't do it, as my current location is so far away. The itinerary mapping is only good when you're ready to go. No preplanning allowed.

### 5/5 — For any Blues fan, this is a 5 Star app

*2022-07-16*

This app is very intuitive and informative for anybody that loves Blues music. The itinerary feature works great. All you do is click on the Blues markers you want to see, click on the “Add to Itinerary” feature. When through, click the “Itinerary” feature. From there you can click the “Best Route” feature, and you trip is set. Aside from that, the wealth of information this app offers, gives any Blues fan a deeper understanding of the music.

### 2/5 — Promising, but serious glitch

*2019-05-14*

Like others, I have had issues with some of the features. Every time I try to work with the”Itinerary” feature, the app just automatically closes. I wouldn’t bother with this one until they fix it.

### 1/5 — Itinerary map doesn’t work

*2018-11-11*

Selected numerous markers to be napped under Itinerary, but when I hit the button it just kicks me out of the app. Bummed.

### 5/5 — Terrific App!

*2017-04-12*

Love it. The documentary blues videos are wonderful too. I want to travel to many of these sites some day.

### 4/5 — Pretty Good

*2015-12-20*

A welcome addition to any blues enthusiast collection. As a musician, I fully appreciate the efforts put into this little app. It's chock full of blues history.  And there's a lot in here I didn't know.  I don't think anyone will be disappointed considering it's free!  I give it 4 stars because it could probably use a few minor tweaks in terms of functionality (zooming in on photos would be nice) but overall a nice effort here.  As for some of the 'crash issues' others mentioned here, I've had none yet.

### 1/5 — App crashes... Sep 14, 2015

*2015-09-15, version 1.5.3*

iPhone 6. App crashes as soon as it loads... Please fix this soon... Leaving on a road trip along the Blues Trail in two weeks...

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2015-08-10, version 1.5.3*

Crashes as soon as app opens. IPhone 5c. Love the app! Please help!

### 5/5 — Essential

*2014-11-28*

An essential tool for anyone who loves The Blues and wants to learn more about it's roots.

### 5/5 — Must have

*2014-11-16*

Must have if you love the Blues
