Been trying to use email and Instagram to contact them since at least one entry shows several people broke into a military facility which is still active. And then they break into a structure on that facility. Have been trying to inform the app owners to take this down and since I work at said facility can probably get some nice pics of the place they’ve got listed. No replies. Not only that there’s no way to add pics so I would recommend the other abandoned app on the store. At least you can update entries there and the app owner gets back to you. ### 1/5 — Bummer *2020-12-28, version 1.1* Can’t login and can’t request a password if you happen to forget yours. ### 2/5 — Update the map *2020-12-02, version 1.1* Most of the places on here are no longer abandoned and you can’t go to them anymore ### 1/5 — Couldn’t get passed creating a login *2020-11-29, version 1.1* I was excited to use this, but I couldn’t get passed trying to create a login. Never could open the app. ### 1/5 — Won’t let me sign up or login. *2020-06-27, version 1.0* I really want to like this app, but it won’t let me sign up, and won’t let you use it without having a login. Bummer! ### 1/5 — downloaded but can’t sign up *2020-05-24, version 1.0* the idea behind the app seems promising & totally up my alley but after downloading the app, i can’t move forward creating an account or seeing if i had a past account that may be gumming up the works. am i doing something wrong? lol send help - want to use! ### 1/5 — BS *2019-11-07, version 1.0* Barely any bandos despite the dozens that exist around me and they DATA MINED my info and used my personal phone number to text random messages. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2019-10-13, version 1.0* I have this app on my iPad and couldn’t get past the sign up screen for a while ### 1/5 — If I could I'll give a zero star *2019-09-17, version 1.0* Their team totally forgot this app. I couldn't even sign up. ### 1/5 — Waste of time. *2019-08-25, version 1.0* Couldn’t even open app because the log in/ making an account wouldn’t load past me putting in my account. ### 1/5 — Not worth your time *2019-07-31, version 1.0* Slow and outdated quality and most of the addresses you have to pay for the two free ones I looked at gave me addresses to random homes ### 3/5 — Pretty good app/Needs improvements *2019-04-17, version 1.0* Alright so overall if you’re a person who loves to explore random places such as I, this app is indeed for you. It has places all over the United States that you can adventure to! If you’re the risky type even places you could try to sneak in and check out. You can even add locations that you find yourself if you feel like! Then the locations you add-you can add a price to so people can pay for the location! Although I think that’s a bit greedy but if it took some effort to get there I can understand the want to price it. The improvements: _____________________ Ok so all I can say for improvements is the ability to actually edit everything in your account and on the actual app side of it, i would prefer a more Instagram fluid type of deal as it’s kind of slow and buggy, same goes for the website. Overall with some small improvements-and maybe some advertising-this app could be really cool. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — sad *2021-06-03, version 1.1* I was really excited to try this but I can't get past the loading screen when I launch the app **Developer response:** It appears we've had 30k downloads in the past few days and it has crashed our servers.

We’re going on vacation and I’m into photography. All of the abandoned places are linked up to Google maps with pins, so it will be easy peasy to navigate. The app syncs well with my phone, and the properties load right up. So based on my phone and internet speed, which is fast, everything was spot on. Developers did a good job. ### 5/5 — A Gem for Explorers *2022-08-27, version 1.1* This app is a real gem for explorers. It is loaded with literally tons of abandoned spots. It’s surely one of a kind. And there’s not many apps like this out there. I didn’t have any issues loading the app or signing up. Download speed was super fast. The sites are really awesome. Lots of users are adding abandoned locations all the time. What’s cool is it maps out the location and gives a description about the places you’re checking out. No bugs or login issues on my end. The user interface was great. I highly recommend giving it a try. ### 5/5 — Amazing app. *2020-08-02, version 1.1* Exploring culture has gotten really corrupt nowadays. People will keep spots to themselves on Google docs no one can see. This app provides the opportunity for an amazing centralized database that could be used by all explores. The guy who created the app is also super nice and lovely to talk too. It took awhile to reach him via Instagram dms but this isn’t a surprise due to the small team size behind the app. I’ve been using it for over a year now and I love it. This app has allowed me to reclaim my summer. ### 5/5 — So glad I found this app *2018-07-11, version 1.0* Looks like they fixed the pop up! This is my go to app when looking for abandoned places. Cool photos from all over the world. I can’t wait for more people add their bandos. ### 5/5 — Great execution on fun idea *2018-01-28, version 1.0* Finding abandoned places for cool photos is an excellent idea, and this app executes on that very well. ### 4/5 — excellent app *2021-04-04, version 1.1* i have found most of these places and they are in great condition! ### 4/5 — A few bugs *2020-04-01, version 1.0* The app worked fine when I first got it, but now it won’t show anything on the map, I’ll like the idea y’all have, if y’all could fix that soon, that would be great ### 4/5 — Please Update *2019-11-30, version 1.0* The app is great itself but it needs some improvement. Like that there should be a location finder button so the app can see where you are. You shouldn’t be able to tap twice to zoom in on the hole thing. Also make so the user has to say the exact location so it doesn’t say somewhere in California and stuff like that. Hopefully you can fix and update this devs love the app btw and hopefully you will read this. ### 3/5 — Good start on a great concept *2021-03-24, version 1.1* *First, a note to the developer(s): your latest update has created a bug that inserts a “%20” in between the coordinates used to pull up a location on Google maps when one pushes the “show in maps” button. This essentially breaks the feature because google can no longer find the addresses and gives an error message now. I memorized the address and/or cut and pasted the correctly written coordinates directly in my google maps app, but that’s kind of a pain. I’m assuming it’s an easy fix that though, so I thought I’d mention it.* Anyways, the locations in this app are definitely better curated than the other “abandoned” app, but it still needs updating. It’s too bad this app doesn’t at least rely a little on some form of peer input, because I could easily find a dozen or more locations that are either defunct for the purpose of exploring, or need some other noteworthy edit. For example, I just saw one location on the map that changed owners recently, has installed security cameras (with facial recognition), and will now arrest on site. In the decades that place has been abandoned that has not been the case until now. It would be nice to be able to comment with those kinds of tips/warnings/etc., but I understand why that could be a huge headache due to the inevitable trolls and misinformed people. Too bad though... Overall, the app itself is worth a look if you’re new to this hobby, but if you’re more seasoned, you probably won’t be blown away by the map. I do, however, find this app useful when I’m out of town and have some extra time. I can just open this app and see if there anything worthy of a look-see nearby wherever I am. I’ve actually found a couple interesting places this way. Keep updating the app! It’s a good start. :) ### 3/5 — Needs some work *2020-02-09, version 1.0* I got this app and at f tat it was great and I went to a few of the places but I forgot my password and it won’t send me the link to create a new one. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
