### 2/5 — Sloppy

*2024-08-23, version 2.1.2*

1st attraction I looked at in detail was in the Kelvingrove section, the Granite Steps near Park Gardens where you use a picture of the well known stairs in The Queens Park on the south side of the city. Poor. Fix this!

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2022-08-02, version 2.1.2*

Hard to navigate, ugly & full of boring facts about what should have been some interesting monuments.

### 2/5 — Hard Work

*2021-08-09, version 2.1.2*

Let’s just say the App needs a lot more work !

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2019-05-17*

Only has walks around small areas and crashes if you try to look at a map.

### 1/5 — Crashes when opening a map

*2018-04-29, version 2.1.2*

So far this app has crashed every time I’ve tried to open a map.
