User reviews

Useful and helpful

This app serves the exact purpose described in the summary: a simple way to look up historical markers based on a map. It allows you to read the sign and any stories associated with it. Recently, it had been malfunctioning and I reached out via the support button on the app store. John got back to me in less than a day, describing the issue and what it will take on his end to fix it. I look forward to it being back up and running soon!

Boo

Won’t even open!

Response from developer

Sadly, the data on the server was corrupted. This issue has been fixed. Sorry!

App overlaps screen

Can’t even use settings because the app is way to large for the screen, you can’t see any content around the outside edges of the app, I, example, in settings you can only see the last few letters of the words because the first half of the letters are outside of the screen I hope I explain that correctly, but anyways, I can’t use it cause I can’t even set the settings

Response from developer

You did send us a bug report about this, and it was fixed 3 days later. I'm not sure why level of customer support merits a single star review. Bugs happen. When they are reported, they are fixed. We would appreciate you giving the app another chance. Thanks.
