User reviews

Find cool stuff nearby in AR

I can see everything nearby and tap on it for more information on Wikipedia. Nice way to find things to see nearby for any location!

Doesn't work.

As soon as I open the app, I get a notice that it is unable to connect to a search service. It asks me to check my Internet connection and retry later. My Internet connection is functioning for everything else, just not this app. I am disappointed that I can't use it. Currently, it is useless to me and I wish I hadn't spent the money.

The best of the best!!!

I like this program and use every day!!!

What a Waste

A waste of money. Forces you to face north to use the app and shows only a few obvious and uninformitave results on the map. Better use free alternatives instead.
