Hopefully can be fixed soon!? ### 2/5 — Badly needs an update *2026-04-07* The app works… kind of. But my goodness what an eyesore. Badly in need of a polish pass. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-12-15* Doesn’t show you anything near where you are Literally doesn’t work ### 5/5 — Must get *2025-05-24* An incredible database, highly recommended ### 5/5 — Super Smashing Great *2024-04-10* I’ve had this app for about 8 years and admittedly it’s a great app if your interested in monoliths. ### 4/5 — Updates? *2023-08-21* This doesn’t ever have any…. ### 1/5 — App closes itself *2022-11-23* Great app using the Megalithic Portal database. Unfortunately the app closes itself down very often. What a shame. ### 4/5 — Great discovery app *2022-02-01* Absolutely invaluable to have in the field. Found so many incredible, otherwise hidden sites using it and have updated with my own images. Would be even better if it could integrate with full OS Maps (I do understand the limitations). A little frustrating to have to keep flicking between the two map apps. The book is excellent too! ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2021-05-11* Text search facility keeps crashing. Goes back to Home Screen. Contacted them no reply. **Developer response:** unfortunately the amount of processing can reach the limits of the devices capability fairly quickly, will look at improving the search functions in the next version after 2.4.9 ### 5/5 — Megalith hunters dream! *2020-06-21* Contains soo much information and soo easy to use. ## Frequently asked questions about Pocket Guide Megaliths ### What is Pocket Guide Megaliths?
