## What is Places?

Places helps you build beautiful maps of your favorite cities. It's as simple as adding pins to a map and writing your notes for them. Sharing your maps is as simple as sending your friend a link (your friends don't need to have the app; maps built with Places are beautiful on the web too). It's really useful as a lightweight travel planner/journal, and also great when you have a friend visiting your neighborhood and you want to tell them where to go. It's a small, simple tool and it's completely private and free - no ads, obnoxious Facebook logins, or in-app purchases.

## Key features

- Create custom maps

### 1/5 — Shameless advertising

*2017-12-31, version 1.0*

Thought it might be a good way to share locations of group members. But when I tried to share a link it took everyone to a website for clothes.

### 2/5 — Work great for what i need to do

*2017-10-28, version 1.0*

At this stage this app works good for what i need to do, but if you could update it so you can just type in the address and that you could change the colour of the pin would be nice
