User reviews

Would be amazing..

But their decision to litter it with self adjusting watermarks makes the loading time unbearable and the view unreadable due to all the lines of watermarks. I’d happily pay a fee to remove for the app to work smoothly.

Blurry!

How are you supposed to see and be interested in subscribing? Do better

Ads and watermarks. Don't bother.

Just use actually free government sites.

Terrible

Copy-write stamps are in the way and if you try to zoom in -which is barely enough to see what you’re looking at - the stamp is still in the way. To make it worse the pop up Ads make it nearly impossible to use the app.

Truly, TRULY Awful Company and App

After setting the bar as low as humanly possible with the antiquated, glitchy, almost totally useless web experience, they’ve perfectly migrated that frustration and buginess into this awful app as well. And they want to charge a premium for it! In every facet of this company’s design, interface, and business decisions, it’s obvious that this is one of those companies that views their own customers as hostile enemies. Fine. There are much better alternatives out there. I sincerely hope for Historical Aerials eventual failure and cessation to exist. Adios!
