Disappointing- lack of trial

$100 is a lot to ask before we know if the paid features are worth it. A trial would be great.

Pay (too much) to Play

I’ve used this app for several years. At the beginning it was fun and easy to use to find places to photograph near where I was traveling. I travel a lot and am a humble amateur photographer. After all these years of using this, it is no longer fun. Very few locations are shown for just the annual membership fee. About 80% of the locations are only accessible if you pay the pricy Explorest Pro fee. After careful consideration I’m canceling my subscription.

App doesn’t load despite active internet connection

This app used to be extremely helpful and I really relied on it while it was working. That’s exactly why this situation is so disappointing.

I’ve been experiencing an ongoing issue where the app gets stuck on the loading screen and shows the message “Oops. You have no internet connection”, even though my internet is working perfectly (Wi-Fi and cellular).

I have an active paid membership, so this is especially frustrating. At the moment, the app is completely unusable, and there’s no indication whether this is a temporary outage, a bug, or if the app is still being actively supported.

As a paying user, I’d really like to understand:
Is this app still functional and maintained?
Is there a fix coming?

Otherwise, it’s unclear why I’m paying for a membership I can’t actually use. Please address this issue or provide clear communication to your users.

Still Working?

Is this app still in use? Couldnt even open the app anymore so I uninstalled and re downloaded, now I can’t log in

Just use google maps

I could justify the price tag if it actually provided useful info. If you can afford the price tag you should be able to determine what equipment to use and when to use it. There is a significant lack of locations and they are either instagram hotspots or drone shots. And if you don’t want to be that annoying person buzzing a drone above people this app is extremely useless.
