App is crashing when I take a picture!

The app crashes when I try and save my picture.

Response from developer

We're sorry you encountered a problem. We've fixed a number of issues with the latest release, and added new features like maps as well, so we'd encourage you to take a look at the latest version and let us know if you still have any problems!

Beautiful Pictures

It's amazing to see pictures of the streets I walk down from a hundred years ago. So much has changed, but the cities are still so familiar. To get the most of this app you need to walk through the streets of one of the app's photographed cities.

Old world NYC in the palm of your hand

As a lifelong New Yorker this is a real treat! I love being able to peel back the layers of time and see what NYC looked like in different eras.

Amazing app

Love the app, especially with the addition of some of the newer cities. It's great for making my trips more interesting, or even my home town more fun!

Very fun and interactive.

Wow! Such a fun app. Love using this while I'm walking through NYC to take a step back in time and see how the urban landscape has transformed.

A history lover's dream

Very cool app. I have seen a lot of history apps but I like that you can use the calendar to adjust by years. It also shows a lot of places I haven't seen or heard of before. Def recommend.

Deja vu

One photo checked for the Singer building dated as 1893 shows cars possibly 1993. Bring to developer's attention. Otherwise interesting concept.

Only 3 Cities are on this app!

I feel taken advantage of this app. I guess if you don't live in New York, Boston or DC and don't visit them often, then don't get this app. Also, I thought they would have more pictures in their database than just the few hundred (maybe not even that many) that were loaded. I am not impressed. They should give people the opportunity to post old pics of their cities and pinpoint the locations and then it may flourish... Needs work.

Beautiful, clever idea; hope it grows

What a great idea! Finding old photos that correspond to your location is lots of fun - the only drawback is that currently there aren't very many photos in the app's database (and virtually none from the boroughs). Hopefully the designer will continue to add more. Kudos also on the elegant interface (for one thing, it's nice to see a departure from the candy color schemes used in most apps).

Awesome App

Works very well and easy to use. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of what old NYC used to look like.

Clever App!

Really cool app, the gyroscope that matches the imagery to the buildings is a genius feature! Looking forward to more updates.

Great way to learn NYC's history

It felt as if I had a time machine in my hands. Another great addition to my app library.
