When it does work, it seems to be very dry content. Not very impressive. ### 3/5 — Ok but.... *2012-06-24* Many pictures don't open at all just crash also the app is quite limited in topics of various historical Cleveland area landmarks and historical scenarios. The infamous unsolved murder of William Lowe Rice in 1910 for example, as well, the creation of Euclid Heights where Rice's supposed murderer John Hartness Brown lived (the house still stands) one of three original mansions all still standing. All this was omitted. Updates please!! **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for giving Cleveland Historical a try back in 2012. Over the past ten years we've added many new features and hundreds of new stories. We hope you'll give it another try! ### 3/5 — interesting but conatantly crashes *2010-11-23, version 0* pretty cool app to learn about area landmarks and history but the app crashes a lot ### 4/5 — Cleveland Rocks! *2014-03-23, version 2.5.1* Cool idea! ### 4/5 — Great Info but Wish for Universal App *2013-08-09* Love all the details & history in the app. Just wish the app was optimized for the iPad as a universal app. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the review. My reply here is bit late but the app has since been optimized for iPad. We hope you'll give it a try! ### 4/5 — iPad soon? *2011-08-18* What a great idea. It would be even better as an iPad/universal app. I hope an update to add that comes soon! **Developer response:** A late reply but the app has since been updated to include a great iPad experience. ### 4/5 — Very interesting *2011-04-24* I have not had any problems with audio files or crashing. I really like this app and all of the old photos in it! ### 4/5 — Fantastic *2010-12-31, version 1.0* No problems w/ navigation or crashing, but the audio files don't work. Great source for historical info w/ tons of content though! Cleveland needs apps like this which show it's vibrant and rich history. Great app and a great idea! ### 4/5 — Nice app! *2010-11-27* Great info. Too much crashing.

The photographs of buildings demolished long ago help fill out the stories from my parents’ childhood. **Developer response:** We're so glad you've found the app useful for your research! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2017-10-15* This app is very well put together. There is so much history, and detail about areas, and landmarks all around northeast Ohio. It’s a must for anyone living here or visiting. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review! ### 5/5 — Great resource for Clevelanders *2016-11-29* Whether you want to know about local landmarks near you or follow a suggested tour this is a brilliant guide. It includes maps, photos, landmark descriptions and for some, audio clips of resident interviews. And it's free! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2016-11-07* Fascinating and well organized. Every Clevelander should have it! ### 5/5 — I use this all the time! *2015-08-26* This is absolutely wonderful and I still use this all the time even though I originally downloaded this a while ago. I'm so glad that someone took the time to compile all of this in such an easy to use format! ### 5/5 — Essential For Clevelanders *2015-07-15* Great information and history on a myriad of cleveland landmarks and sites, old and new. The design of the app is excellent and very easy to use. Nice work. ### 5/5 — Love this!! *2015-07-05* I never knew so many interesting things actually occurred in my city! This app is amazing. 😁 ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2014-07-07* I absolutely love this app. It's like carrying around a Cleveland tour guide with you wherever you go. There are tons of POI's with new ones being added fairly regularly. Plus, it's quite a user friendly little app. The only thing I would ask for is support for landscape mode, which would make viewing some photos and videos a bit more enjoyable. All in all, a fantastic app that I hope all lovers of the CLE will use and support. Keep up the great work CSU!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2014-04-06, version 2.5.1* This app is truly awesome...if you love the CLE, this will enliven your appreciation for this town. If not, then F' you Jobu! ### 5/5 — Quite comprehensive *2013-01-21* Here's a good catalog of historic sites that proves Cleveland is worth your time. Theme-based tours are a nice feature. App works well if you're willing to wait a few seconds for the data to load. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
