Quite good but had bugs and gaps

I could be using the app wrong, but sites seem to appear, change and disappear randomly. Quite a few sites appear to be in the wrong place and even change. For instance Cray Wanderers football pitch is near where I live. The first time I saw it on the map it was described as Thamesmead FC. The second time I saw it on the map it was described as Erith FC…. The summary for the town I live in talks about interesting local history, like the oldest house in the town, but the same historical sites aren’t shown on the map. Category filtering is odd. You look at an area on the map, select a category like Battles and War. You then move the map and no new sites are shown. If you change the category to something else then change it back to Battles and War new sites appear. I selected Trafalgar Square in London and the Battles and War category and things like the Cabinet war rooms aren’t shown. I scrolled the map down to Downing Street, selected the Politics and Power category and 10 Downing Street isn’t shown. I changed the category to “Everything” and it still wasn’t shown. I centred the map back on where I live - scrolled the map to Downing Street again and now it’s shown. It could be something to do with the zoom level on the map, but all a bit odd.

History on the move

I saw this app advertised on Facebook and thought it sounded great. I am very impressed so far. At £4.99 this is an absolute bargain, a one off payment with no subscription fees. A fantastic app which means you can quickly look up the history of your surroundings in a couple of clicks, no more google searches. The audio facility to listen to the information as well as reading it is a great option. This app is a simple but very effective idea which has identified a gap in the market where those who are into local history are concerned. I wish the developers huge success with this because it deserves it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a lovely review! We really appreciate it - every review, recommendation and share of LocoPast really does help spread the word and get the app into more hands. So, thank you! We're thrilled to hear you're finding LocoPast so valuable and enjoyable. Happy history hunting.

No subscription history

I hate how almost every app is a subscription these days. Seeing this app with no subscription and myself with a love of history it was a no brainer. It seems to pull all of its data from Wikipedia, but seeing it pictorially on a map, cracking idea. So let’s support the developer! Thanks for no subscription!
