CarPlay

I love ExploreHere and use it regularly while driving. It would be fantastic to have a native CarPlay interface showing nearby landmarks and allowing me to select or hear them through the CarPlay screen. Since ExploreHere’s hands-free driving mode is already designed for driving, CarPlay seems like a natural next step.

Loved it within minutes

If you love history and want to learn little facts around you or on your way. It’s awesome

Wow, just wow!

My mind is blown. Didn’t “upgrade” just using basic and I’m speechless on the number of interesting historical facts within just a few miles of where I live that I had no idea about. Can’t wait to get back on the road - we RV a few months a year. Get this. It may well become my absolute favorite.

This is THEE Best app I have ever seen for history nuts like myself. I can’t put it down. Thank you!

It hasn’t worked yet

This will be a great app but it hasn’t worked for me yet and it doesn’t let me submit a problem to the developers. Once it works I think it will be great.
