And I didn't have the patients to zoom in that far to find out places to visit. I was excited to get the app but then very disappointed when I saw what it was. ### 1/5 — Am I missing something? *2015-06-13* Heard about this app on the radio- thought it sounded neat, but it really is only a slightly interactive PDF. The design of the PDF is visually pleasing, but it's not optimized for mobile. Some pages it wouldn't let me zoom to read it. Better off just doing a web search ### 2/5 — Ohio is great. This app is bad *2015-06-10, version 3.3.11* It's a pdf, which I am not against. But clearly not designed for the phone form factor. Too hard to read/use. Also, it's a 200+ mb download after you download the App Store app. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Not an app *2015-05-30, version 3.3.11* May be a helpful PDF but not a helpful app. Or really an app at all. ### 2/5 — It's a PDF not an app *2015-05-27, version 3.3.11* It's nothing more than a PDF. A good one but why call it an app. ### 5/5 — wait is over!!!! *2014-03-04* been waiting for this!!! Thank you! :) ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2014-02-27* So happy they came out with this. Easier to plan trips with it on my iPad! I will be reading this at night when I can't sleep and hubby asleep next to me! Vacationing in your home state is just awesome! ### 4/5 — Ohio travel guide *2014-02-22, version 1.0* The graphics are amazing. This app will make a great addition for our on the go decision making. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2014-02-19, version 1.0* What a nice publication! Very nice to browse through and will be great to have on our travels. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Ohio travel guide *2014-02-13* Really nice magazine. Lots of great information and fun to browse through. Beautiful design. Love all the pictures and video clips! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App is buggy *2025-08-29* Frequently opens things I didn’t click on, or is very touchy when scrolling. Also sometimes doesn’t load things. First time downloading and trying the app. It had lots of useful information but didn’t seem all the way up to date. I can just Google to find things quicker. I’d consider keeping the app if it wasn’t so touchy and loaded everything when needed. ### 1/5 — Locations are unclear *2024-05-25* It would be nice to be able to explore by allowing location and explore nearby activities. For people who are passing thru and don’t know all the neighboring towns, the app doesn’t make it easy for us to find nearby events. ### 1/5 — Canal fulton is in Ohio. Why isn’t it listed when i typed in the name?! *2024-03-26* Canal fulton is in Ohio. Why isn’t it listed when i typed in the name?! ### 1/5 — Buggy *2023-05-19* Too many bugs to usefully deal with. App doesn’t load all banners, opens pages not touched, gets stuck (unable to scroll), etc. Would be happy to use in the future if the basic usability can be improved. (I’m working with an iPhone 14+ on high speed internet - it’s not a hardware or connectivity issue). Thanks ✌️ ### 1/5 — For Alcoholics? *2021-08-04* Statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger and World's largest gavel at the Supreme Court in downtown Columbus is NOT on the map. However if you want to go get wasted the map doesn’t miss a single brewery or tap house. Can we get an app for people that want to see the sights and not get drunk? ### 1/5 — Failure *2017-01-14, version 6.0* I just updated to your newest version and it immediately crashed. After I wrote the revie it came right up. ### 1/5 — I cancelled the download *2015-10-25* When you open the app the first time, you are required to download a 250 megabyte PDF file. That's it. That's the entire app. I cancelled the download because I don't want to fill my storage with a huge PDF file, then I deleted the app. It's just not user friendly. ### 1/5 — App Doesn't Work! *2015-07-14, version 3.3.11* Anytime I try to load the app it won't load anything. Needs an update to fix this problem. ### 1/5 — Awful *2015-07-08, version 3.3.11* Impossible to find event in your area. Worst app in existence... Forced pictures of areas I don't care about... Never did find events or sites in my area or things to do... One heck of size of download... A monster space user. ### 1/5 — Not usuable *2015-07-03, version 3.3.11* This isn't an app, it's a PDF... I was expecting an app that I could click on an area of the state, & view the calendar with events listing. Looks like a lot of ads more than anything. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lots to do in Ohio! *2024-08-22* I love reading the articles! ### 5/5 — Go on n ink I *2024-06-01* to. On in Ug h ### 5/5 — JB *2024-05-08, version 7.0.5* Helpful ### 5/5 — Way more to do *2022-09-14* I like the integration of articles and cool stuff to do near me. ### 5/5 — Great *2016-02-05* Love it - very easy to use and has great visual content. The editorials are good reads and it gives you awesome travel inspiration! I would definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Good Virtual Guide! *2015-08-11* I like this virtual guide of the actual print guide. While the print guide is good, it's heavy. I am glad this was available as an app. Ohio has done a good job of putting this together. I like the videos and photos. There are some really pretty pictures that make me proud to be born and bred in Ohio. I found the events under each region helpful. ### 5/5 — Very Informative *2015-08-10* Must have app for anyone traveling to or through Ohio!! ### 5/5 — Great Resource *2015-08-04* You could spend hours perusing all the things to do/places to visit. It's an interactive e-book that mimics the actual print version I get every year. Awesome to have on my ipad. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2015-05-14* This is an interactive magazine that has a lot of information and is very helpful in finding something great to do in Ohio. I had no idea there was so much to do in Ohio! ### 5/5 — Very useful! *2014-04-14* This app has proved to be very handy while we plan our upcoming trip to Ohio! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
