Brooklyn Village
This app was very user friendly. Love the plethora of historical information and photos. This will be a tour that I will take on foot with a tribe of future leaders who are well versed in history-our story!
Shallow, safe story-telling
Very shallow as a history. No names named of the perpetrators, only the victims.
Who were the “slumlords”, who profited from demolition? What about the “block busting” that followed which caused more segregation from white flight? Who were the politicians that approved this? Whom did they represent? How much of Brooklyn was owner-occupied? What was the average rent? In today’s dollars? Was new and better housing even available during demolition that was affordable?

Response from developer
You might have the mute switch on your iphone set on. A lot of apps ignore this switch and make sounds even when it's enabled. But our app follows Apples guidelines, and does not make any sound when the mute switch is on.
Awesome app
I learnt a lot about African American history and got discount in delicious restaurants
App
This app was super informative and a cool way for me to share our history with my children as we did the the Brooklyn Map together. Thank you!
