### 5/5 — Fun!

*2023-06-08*

Fun app and easy. Please include an ability to get directions via different maps?

### 1/5 — Honestly

*2019-02-23*

It’s not worth the download

### 1/5 — I would like to expand my search

*2017-12-30*

And I would like to put in a place and or a name to research other possibilities . I would like when I touch the place it would explain what this place is and about the hours and dates and the time of year it’s open . You’re on the right track just some suggestions.

### 4/5 — READ THIS

*2016-08-06*

This game is very fun. I love the idea but there are many glitches. If they fixed that it would be perfect for when you're bored.

### 1/5 — Review

*2016-02-20*

Disappointed in this app. Looked for parks/ indoor play for my son and it's giving locations 20 miles away. Looked up zoos and it's giving one zoo in Germany!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2015-06-24*

I thought that it would be a good app but it turns out that it wants your location and then it just tells you where the place is.

### 1/5 — A real disappointment

*2014-08-31*

I had really high hopes for this app but it's not very good. I live just out side of boston and when I searched for beaches the app gave me a smattering of local pools and one or two beaches.  I can name 4 beaches (not pools ) near me.  We have cape cod!!  
Going to erase app now

### 5/5 — Smart

*2014-07-25*

This app is smart because I'll be really bored and I could just look on this app and it's easy 
#first review

*2013-03-25*
