Firme App

It’s crazy that I could see my old neighborhood during the 40s

My favorite Website Now an App!

I use the website all of the time to peek into the history of my town. I want to say it’s been a decade at least that I have been using the site and recommending it to people.
I don’t understand the low ratings if I’m being completely honest. I downloaded, immediately searched, changed the year, and topo. It worked perfect!
Sure in our modern world there is “always room for innovation and improvement”… but I think that even if this is the beginning for this app, it’s amazing!!
Thank you to the devs for making this an easy application to always have on hand for when I want to learn some history. ❤️

Watermark hellscape

The Watermark grid is so invasive it’s impossible to tell if the photos are of any quality or not.

Bad app

I don’t mind ads but there’s way too many. App is slow. Can’t find a way to see the images without the copyright all over. I wouldn’t care to pay for an ad free/copyright free version but it doesn’t have it. Shame.

Works okay, until there's an ad.

Unable to close out of video ads, which makes it annoying to use any of the app features as the only way I've found to get around this is to close the app.
Good job guys, you ruined a perfectly okay app by plaguing it with ads.
I wouldn't mind them if I could just close them and go about my business. But you can't even do that.
Try again.

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!

Not that great

Watermarks are horrendous. Can hardly see what you’re trying to look at. Don’t mind the ads since it’s free but everything loads so slow that by the time it’s starts doing something another ad pops up.

Could be better

The adds make the app very hard to use with the banner at the top and the pop ups every few minutes. Plus there is no option for a paid version

Absolutely ruined by malicious ads

This app is absolutely ruined by malicious ads. I got pop ups covering my screen telling me I have a virus on my phone! I would not mind regular ads for product but this malicious stuff is too much. Just put regular ads and they can be twice as long. I would not even share this app with my wife, even though she is into history and genealogy.

Not worth it

The hundreds of copyright watermarks on the photos obscure them so much they are worthless.

Could be great

I understand watermarks are necessary, but this is a crazy amount. I can't see anything. Everything is blurry and what's recognizable has a watermark over it. So basically I can't see anything. Too bad- this has awesome potential. Just not there yet.

App doesn’t work

Downloaded and all I get is an error message that it can’t verify its version. Adding for posterity, based on their dated website UI with ads littered all over like it’s 2006, and an attitude of “how are we supposed to function without ads,” I have zero faith they can improve. You can have ads and make it a good experience for the user.

What a piece of junk!

Useless app…web version works. This is hot garbage.

Seems not ready for release

Watermarks block a-lot of the imagery. App blocks screenshots. Invasive ads.

Buggy ads, pop up ads, garbage app

App is genuinely unusable in its current state, I’ve updated to the latest version and l just keep running into more issues, it’s so frustrating

Ads are terrible and can't zoom much

Just use the website this app needs more refinement and maybe some sponsors so they don't force ads that say my phone is infected. I also can't zoom in close enough. And screen shots are disabled to zoom in that way. Basically can't use this app for now . Can't wait for the bugs to get worked out though!
