It’s great for big cities, but there’s a lot of ground to cover and it’s be great if there were more updates and activity in this app Small town would be great too. There’s a feature where you can submit photos, but idk if those are seriously considered since I don’t see new updates ### 3/5 — Great idea - but no developer interest? *2022-04-21, version 1.1.3* Seems like such a good idea to have an app showing some great photography locations, especially coming out of covid but it seems the developers have taken a back seat as the photos haven’t been updated in 2 months? Such a shame ### 3/5 — Cool app, limited spots *2022-02-01, version 1.1.3* App is a cool concept however the locations are extremely limited. None in Australia for example ### 3/5 — Doesn’t allow pictures to be uploaded *2022-01-31, version 1.1.3* I’m a NYC street photographer and love this app but I couldn’t upload any of the photos that I wanted to share. I have a big list of places that I have been sharing on my IG so I hoped to share them here as well…🤷‍♂️ ### 3/5 — It only has a few cities *2022-01-30, version 1.1.3* I think it would be a good idea to have a page where you can search for a city and it comes up with every spot from that city, and allow people to add spots from anywhere in the world so that lets say I wanted to find spots in Perth Australia I could just search Perth and all the locations in Perth would come up, instead I am stuck with tapping on one of few locations. ### 3/5 — Needs more locations *2022-01-13, version 1.1.3* I didn’t count but there’s not that many locations listed when there’s plenty of spots that SHOULD be listed. 5 stars when more east coast locations are approved ### 3/5 — No sign in with Apple *2021-01-23, version 1.1.3* Great app but without Apple as a sign in method not an app for privacy conscious users. ### 3/5 — Need more cities/freedom *2021-01-21, version 1.1.3* Would like to see more cities like Seattle. And be able to post spots for any city ### 4/5 — no search! *2020-07-22, version 1.1.3* this app is great but the only thing stopping it from being amazing is the fact that i can’t search up cities. ### 4/5 — Australia *2020-07-17, version 1.1.2* We need Australia in this ### 2/5 — This app is dumb *2020-07-16, version 1.1.2* There’s no way to search for cities, they only have major cities, and you have to scroll through a long list of whatever cities they decided to include. What about smaller cities? What about towns? Good idea, executed poorly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not for Aussies *2023-04-08, version 1.1.4* A good idea in theory, but this app doesn’t take note of its subscribers/ customers. There still aren’t any locations for Australia. I know we are down under, but we haven’t yet fallen off the planet, so how about allowing us Aussies to participate in your app. We have some sensational photogenic spots here in Australia, so come on. ### 1/5 — Trash app *2022-07-23, version 1.1.3* Only has a few cities to choose from. No way to search locations. Walking L ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-04-25* There are hardly any spots on the app and the ones that are on there are only big cities theres no search function to find ones close to you so totally useless app unless you have lots of money or already live in one of the cities. ### 1/5 — Downloaded, then deleted right away. *2022-04-08, version 1.1.3* If you are in one of the few locations in the entire world they have listed, it might be useful. If you’re not, it’s useless. ### 1/5 — Meehhh.. *2022-01-31, version 1.1.3* Lacks smaller cities, only has some big cities. If you life in a popular city then you’ll probably like the app, but for me I’m disappointed. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time *2021-02-03, version 1.1.3* Uploading photos is very easy, but apparently not everyone is allowed to upload their photos, after more than a week my photos have not been uploaded to the app, so don't waste your time ### 1/5 — Good idea poor execution *2021-01-06, version 1.1.3* Gotta be fake reviews. App only has a few cities with now way to search for others. Quite limiting. ### 1/5 — No search *2021-01-02, version 1.1.3* Fake reviews ### 1/5 — To good be true *2020-07-19, version 1.1.2* It’s seems amazing but it’s very very limited ### 1/5 — Searching cities *2020-07-15, version 1.1.2* How do you look up the city you’re going to be traveling to? There’s no search option ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — amazing!! *2022-02-09, version 1.1.3* found this from North Borders and found many locations around my city! ### 5/5 — POV Northborders sent you *2022-02-08, version 1.1.3* Great freakin app ### 5/5 — Such an awesome service you guys have! *2022-01-31, version 1.1.3* Good evening I was referred to your app when NorthBorders on YouTube mentioned it in his video. And this is the type of app I’ve been looking for since I started photography. ### 5/5 — Perfect for traveling photographers *2020-07-24, version 1.1.3* If you have a camera and traveling to a new city, but not quite sure where to go, this is a perfect app for you 💯 ### 5/5 — Cool App *2020-07-17, version 1.1.2* Cool app to find places when traveling ### 5/5 — Excited! *2020-07-16, version 1.1.2* I’m excited to explore my city & all the other cities when i go visit. As a rookie photographer this app helps A LOT without having to bother locals about certain locations. ### 5/5 — Incredible for creators *2020-07-16, version 1.1.2* Help me find where to shoot content. Love this app. Can’t believe it’s free ### 5/5 — Hidden Local Gems!!! *2020-07-16, version 1.1.2* As someone who travels a lot for work, I always wished I could have an authentic local experience, see where my favorite photographers shoot and get a view of the city you just can’t find on google or yelp. Spots is the truth!!! The best kept secret!!! ### 5/5 — Five stars! *2020-07-16, version 1.1.2* Thanks for creating this app! 10/10 ### 5/5 — Amazing resource for travel and city photography *2020-07-16, version 1.1.2* Amazing location ideas and stunning visuals. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
