Itinerary mapping could use some help.
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.

For any Blues fan, this is a 5 Star app
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.

Promising, but serious glitch
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.
Itinerary map doesn’t work
Selected numerous markers to be napped under Itinerary, but when I hit the button it just kicks me out of the app. Bummed.
Terrific App!
Love it. The documentary blues videos are wonderful too. I want to travel to many of these sites some day.
Pretty Good
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.

A Must Have if You Are a Blues Fan
My son Dylan and I recently drove down Highway 61 from the Canadian border to New Orleans. We went to the Bob Dylan days festival in Duluth and Hibbing, MN then headed on down the road. This app made it so easy to find all the crucial blues spots. We met with Po Monkey outside his Juke Joint, visited Robert Johnson's gravestone, saw the Crossroads, and a few museums, all because of this app. Our only suggestions would be to have the color of the markers change on the map once you have checked in, so that you can visualize where to head to next, and to connect to google maps for directions.

Great app!
This app works well...easy to track markers you have seen or want to see, and there are great pictures included.
Great app for music lovers.
A blues history book, wrapped into an intuitive app. Very helpful when we were planning the Mississippi leg of our road trip. Keep up the great work. Music lovers need stuff like this!
Great for Learning about MS Blues History
It's easy and enjoyable. Great for learning about MS Blues History.
The Blues Trail
Wonderful, informative, entertaining and all for free. A must have app for anyone interested in the subject. Many thanks to all involved. The grand daddy of modern music that must never be forgotten !!!
Amazing
A fantastic tool that looks wonderful & simply works. Perfect if you're curious about Mississippi, the blues, or the town just around the bend on Highway 61. And the zoomable timeline feature is a stunning bit of work.
Stunning App
This is the pinnacle of App design I think, a simple design that is easy to use. The features are outstanding. Potted histories of blues men and the landmarks that were a part of the music's history, videos to watch and a seamless link with iTunes to download the music. If that wasn't enough the App will also make you an itinerary to visit the locations of your choice. Utterly brilliant. I can't wait to visit Mississippi to use the App.

Blues Trail
What a great app! I found it via a Jazz FM competition. I went to the southern States a few years ago and wished I'd had this app. then. I shall go back to Mississippi as soon as I can but in the meantime I shall enjoy the wealth of information and media on the app. which I think is very well put together. Well done to all concerned. Thanks!
