My family’s favorite app!

I love asking people what their favorite app is on their smart phone. It’s a great conversation starter, but it also lets people talk about their interests and you gain a little inside into who they really are. I always reciprocate by telling people about this app. This is by far my favorite app. We use it all the time on family trips or even just visiting a different part of the city where we are currently live. my favorite fine so far is the baby head cemetery in Central Texas. Lol.

Love this

We travel a lot as a homeschooling family. I’m always on the lap looking for a learning opportunity wherever we are. This is so simple and fun and easy!

Not what I hoped

I wanted to like this, but had nothing but problems, tracking my location in real time was a challenge for this thing, so either alerts came in after they were passed or not at all. You can’t zoom out on the map to see what other attractions there might be and the lack of street names is frustrating. Why do you have elementary schools listed? That just clogs up the map. This thing also didn’t alert me to an attraction I passed even though the entrance was right off the road I was traveling. This might be more of a history app vs a real travel map and that isn’t what I was hoping for

Response from developer

Hi! Wes here - thanks so much for the feedback! You’re right, we started as a history-centric app and are trying to expand outward. As a consequence to that, we have some historical markers / signs that are not that interesting (relatively speaking) - I’m actually actively working on removing a bunch of those! There are two maps in ExploreHere; one for exploring and browsing, and the other as part of our hands-free travel mode, which was meant to be used passively while driving. You should be able to move around and zoom in/out and find markers in the explore map, but you’re right I “lock” the travel map in for hands free auto play markers as drive. Perhaps I should make it so you can still browse around to get a sneak peak as to what’s ahead! Anyways, all that to say - I’m really sorry about the bad experience, I’m working on fixing most of these things so stay tuned and I hope you’ll give the app another chance in the future!

No good

Wanted to try it but all it showed in my home town was cemeteries. Also didn’t like that it automatically charges for use. Promptly deleted

Your app truly makes a difference!

I was at jury duty and wandered out at lunch, and because of your app I found the Purple Heart Memorial here in San Antonio. I would have never known it was there without @ExploreHereApp.

It really hit home for me. My father-in-law (who has passed) was a POW in the Bataan Death March during WWII and earned three Purple Hearts. I didn’t see his name on the memorial, which surprised me since he lived here in San Antonio. My husband is going to call tomorrow to find out more about how the bricks work.

Just wanted you to know — your app truly makes a difference. It connects people to places and stories that matter. Thank you for creating something so meaningful.
