Kept crashing

Tried to use to help with my kid’s homework and app kept crashing after 5 seconds. Only $3 but still disappointed it wouldn’t work. Also, couldn’t locate markers by zip code which would have been convenient.

Warning-scam-app does not work

I purchased the app a Month ago and it has never once worked using the map view. I emailed the developer and never received a reply. Save your money.

Almost perfect

Just one thing I would like to see added: the ability to call up a historical marker by marker ID number. Many have these IDs on the road sign, & you may not know exactly which county you’re in at the time.

Map function crashes

When trying to view on map, app crashes. You can see map if start with directions. Would be useful to be able to see markers in area on a map.

Great app for TX travelers

Love this app when I travel around the state of Texas. Must have for any road tripper and history lover!

No search by number

I wanted an app that I could use while driving. This one gives search by “title or subtitle” but not by number. If you want an app to search by number—this isn’t it.

Bug Update Needed

Very excited about this app! Unfortunately it crashes when doing almost anything + major lag on tap-to-screen interactions (including keyboard typing). Please consider an update or fix! 🙏🏼

None of the historic markers were on the map

Driving down the highways of TX for the last two days and literally none of the historic markers we passed we in this app. Waste of money. Plus it crashes when I try to refresh the map.

Really good except “nearest markers”

This is a really great app! Only issue is with location. After first installing it would never show my location. After deleting the app and reinstalling it will show my current location but the “Nearest Markers” option always returns “Cannot find - check that location services is enabled” - which of course it is. Tried toggling between “Always” and “When Using App” but no love.

But I generally use the Geographic Regions mode which works great. And have learned a lot of Texas History! Interestingly when using the map in Geographic Regions mode, the app has no problem showing where I am on the map!

Ugh!

Can’t look up by marker number. I’m probably asking for my money back

Crashing

Needs updating. Keeps crashing!

Otherwise a great app.

This is a Texas necessity. A Texessity!

Poor customer service

I've tried repeatedly to contact this site. No response. I love it, but there MUST be a way to turn off the incessant alerts

great info, glad I found this app

wish the location would refresh faster and figure out, when driving, what markers are coming up ahead .. am passenger trying to give interesting narrative to what is coming up

Awful

App is extraordinarily dense and difficult. Virtually useless. Unsatisfactory experience. Do not recommend.

Checking In and Flagging visits

We are not able to do visit check ins or flag sites as described in app. There is no button or option to check in at a location.

Not user friendly

There isn’t a way to add pictures of markers that are not on the list and no way to add a physical address. When you add a picture it doesn’t show up.

Fantastic Resource!

Searching marker by geolocation is a boon to the traveler. Easily fining monuments, markers, etc while moving about. Lots of data points and and history. My favorite new app!

Very understandably, not all markers have narratives or the text from the marker. Quickly saw that a good number have “don’t know where this one is” despite having street location in app. How might the app user assist with app database update? Might there be future ability to crowdsource or add photo URLs in info? (Obviously the app would be overwhelmed with inclusion of over 1000 images, but links would be nice added value.)

Too Complicated

I guess I’m an idiot. I can’t even get off of the guide page. I just want to view markers we come across while driving. This looks way too complicated.

Not good!

We thought this app would have a way to search for historical markers by NUMBER! You can’t search by number, only by the names of the sites which are in alphabetical order. Useless for searching for numbers you see on the highway signs! I hate that I had to PAY for a useless app!

No location

I can see all the markers but I cannot see my location on the map now.
