### 5/5 — Blues Trail

*2012-02-06, version 1.1*

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!

### 5/5 — Excellent App !!!

*2011-11-22, version 1.1*

I Love this App . It Perfect

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2011-10-30*

Informative, performs well, intuitive layout, great maps and directions, and beautiful graphics. The first app with which I've been sufficiently impressed to write a review.

### 5/5 — Amazing App!

*2011-09-19*

Don't let the simple interface fool you, there is an exhaustive amount of content packed into this app. The history buffs will be more than satisfied and the simply curious can be informed without being buried in smaller details. The timeline feature is absolutely brilliant and the other features are helpful and useful and  well executed, something that can't be said of many apps now. Definitely worth the download.

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2011-09-19*

What an awesome app! There is so much information and is really user-friendly at the same time.

### 5/5 — Mississippi Blues Trail Marker App

*2011-09-12, version 1.0.1*

The best thing to happen to the Blues since the invention of the guitar!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2011-08-20*

One of the best designed apps I have ever seen. Very well done. Suggestions for futre versions might be to have  way to mark off visited markers. Also, the text when reading about the markers is a bit small for me and there isn't a good way to zoom in. I am not complaining though. This app is so awesome.

### 5/5 — MS Blues Trail

*2011-08-20*

Love this app! Coming to do the entire trail as soon as I can!

### 5/5 — Superb app

*2011-08-19*

As a blues history fan I could not hope for a better app to educate and inform me about our native idiom. This app works on so many levels. It compels me to grab the Mrs. and head right down to Mississippi to explore the blues trail. Rest assured this app will accompany us when we visit and may that be very, very soon!

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2011-08-18, version 1.0.1*

### 5/5 — crossroads

*2011-08-17, version 1.0.1*

### 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.

### 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!

### 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.

### 2/5 — Needs a little improvement

*2011-08-05, version 1.0*

I've only had the app a couple of hours.  However I've used the itinerary function to add places I'll be visiting to the app. There is a function to then work out the route. Whenever I attempt to use this the app crashes. Please fix this as it let's down what seems to be a nice app.

### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — A Must Have if You Are a Blues Fan

*2014-06-11*

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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Great app for music lovers.

*2013-12-11*

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!

### 5/5 — Great for Learning about MS Blues History

*2013-06-22*

It's easy and enjoyable. Great for learning about MS Blues History.

### 5/5 — The Blues Trail

*2012-12-29, version 1.2.1*

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 !!!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2012-06-03*

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.

### 5/5 — Stunning App

*2012-05-25*

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.
