Just what I needed

So useful. Exactly what I needed to find places to take my son. Thanks so much for this!

Quick responsive app, but few features

Great idea for an app! Missing key features like a filter, or user submissions with a review system for example “go past security, make the first right and go through the 2nd door…” I love that users can add their own photos but I’d like to filter out the locations that don’t have any. Very promising app. I’m happy you were featured in the New Yorker.
