Whenever I’m bored I hop on here and it gives me somewhere new to go check out. ### 2/5 — good concept BUT.. *2020-10-08, version 4.0* so i got this app because i’m my area there isn’t much to do other than go to the beach or go on a hike to rock house. (both of which i have done countless times) i’m always in search of something new . i think this app definitely works best if u live in the san clemente to LA area. i live in chula vista and this didn’t really provide anything i haven’t done already. or anything that isn’t very very popular. in fact i went to look at the other locations closer to LA but still all are relatively crowded. ### 5/5 — Does this app only work for the LA area? *2020-10-03, version 4.0* I live on the east coast but it seems the locations are only based in LA. Seems like a great app none the less ### 5/5 — Great! *2020-08-18, version 3.4* Love this app! :) ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2020-08-17, version 3.3* So glad I found this app, My boyfriend and I went to 2 spots today and we plan to add a couple later on... such a cool idea!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Great App! *2020-07-30, version 3.0* Awesome locations to explore!! Can’t wait for more! ### 5/5 — Here *2020-07-26, version 2.9* Here because of Tim tokkkkkkkkkk ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless, a lot of adds, reviews are fake *2026-03-26, version 4.4* It literally doesn’t even show where you can go if you’re not in LA and I swear I got like 5 adds in 7 minutes, and literally the other reviews are super fake ### 1/5 — Not many places *2024-07-10, version 4.4* This has a cool concept. The only problem that I have with it is the fact that the only places are in California if you’re anywhere else, there are no places near you. ### 1/5 — didn’t help *2024-06-12, version 4.4* this app did not help me find any places near me only in los angeles. ### 1/5 — Yuh *2023-10-09, version 4.4* If you’re in the LA area this is a great app but if you’re anywhere else there literally nothing. ### 1/5 — has bad places *2020-07-31, version 3.0* has places that are really basic and well known ### 2/5 — One location *2025-11-08, version 4.4* It littlerly is only on the edge of Mexico and calli ### 2/5 — Way too many ads *2024-11-02, version 4.4* Hard to get through the ads long enough to see if you want to support the dev… ### 2/5 — only works in CA! *2024-08-28, version 4.4* If you live in ca probably a great app. However if you live any other state, nothing will show up anywhere. I don’t think they’ve added anything but places in ca yet. So not helpful at all if you don’t live in ca! ### 2/5 — Nothing but LA *2024-05-26, version 4.4* This app seems cool and everything and all these reviews look like an AI typed them but, I’m trying to find some abandoned spots near me and nothing will pop up and I know an abandoned home in my city and that won’t even pop up. Also the only things that will pop up are in LA? What am I doing wrong ### 2/5 — LA locations only *2024-03-03, version 4.4* there's only locations for LA in California ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gatekeep. *2024-09-29, version 4.4* Best app my friend ever recommended. GATEKEEP ### 5/5 — Gatekeep this app!! *2024-04-28, version 4.4* I love this app! It’s given me amazing opportunities to go see cool sightings, but again as another review said, you have to gatekeep this app and only share it with people who genuinely like exploring places like the ones in the app. People will often ruin spots like these once they’re leaked. ### 5/5 — READ *2023-09-19* Update more frequently, i can tell you aren’t an urban explorer and only are receiving info or outside info to post on here. U need to go out and take pictures for yourself and find the places and keep it updated. ### 5/5 — Gatekeep *2023-06-02, version 4.4* Such a sick all ### 5/5 — 🔥🔥🔥 *2023-01-19, version 4.4* plss keep working on this app, i need more locations in pomona/west covina/ontario area. this app is so good and has sm potential, but i can tell sum stuff is outdated. love it soo much tho so jus keep working on it pls!!! ### 5/5 — Bug?? *2022-07-22, version 4.4* The picture of the location like never shows up for all of them ### 5/5 — Gatekeep *2022-07-02, version 4.4* I love this app, BUT GATEKEEP IT. don’t post the app online, don’t share it with random ppl. only give it to people you meet irl that also like genuinely exploring. for example, sometimes i meet ppl at these locations and i share it with them. if you give it to non-exploring regulars, they will disrespect / flood these hidden areas with people who leave trash everywhere, post for views … you get the picture. happy adventuring ### 5/5 — Best way to adventure *2021-05-06, version 4.4* This app is perfect for finding something to do an get outside! ### 5/5 — bad *2021-03-08, version 4.4* no ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-01-30, version 4.3* Easy to use --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
