Need to Update!

I really enjoy this app as it lets me keep track of the world heritage sites that I’ve visited and I can learn about them and why they are listed when I visit. Unfortunately, the app is rarely updated and the last time this happened it was in 2018. There have been many sites added (and even one removed!) from the list then and it would be great to see that reflected in the app!

Out of date and broken

Years out of date. iOS 13 broken.

Great but not updated

Amazing app. So beautiful to look at and consume time. Unfortunately it is never updated. New sites are not placed on it.

Update to include new sites really appreciated

The app is really good in terms of providing information about UNESCO World Heritage Sites and has been recently updated to show the new sites added to the list up to 2016. Highly recommended!

Good...but...

I find it very disappointing that what SHOULD be the authoritative app on the subject doesn't have any of the new info for the past 2 years. It's a real shame because I like the interface/functionality.

Incomplete List

The list of sites has not been updated for 2 years, so all the newly designated sites are missing.

Otherwise, the app works pretty well.

Where is 2015 and 2016?

You updated the app today for crashes but not for the sites added in 2015 and 2016. Why is this???

Update

Good app but PLEASE UPDATE THE LIST AS NEW PROPERTIES ARE INSCRIBED. That's the entire point of the app, come on people.

Incomplete

Missing many UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Terrible app.

Great app

Great app! Use it all the time for quick info and sites that are near me. However, they need to update the 2015 sites. Hopefully, when the 2016 sites get announced they can add al of them. The best World Heritage app out there! Highly recommend!

Make It Sync

Great app, but please make it so I can sync across devices with a sign in of some kind. Because as is, it is more like a reference guide that can be filtered in different ways but not so much an app.

Comprehensive List

I love this app since it's very easy to search through each country's full list of UNESCO world heritage sites and it has great photos and descriptions of each site. However, I am also unhappy with the bug that is causing the "visited locations" section to only show the first few places rather than the entire list of visited places. Hopefully this will be fixed in an update soon!

Good basic list of all UNESCO sites

This is a simple app describing all UNESCO world heritage sites. It allows the user to flag favorites and enter dates (the date function works fine now). It works exactly as advertised. I appreciate the lack of advertising and bloat.

If I want more information about a site, I can search elsewhere.

Poor Design

Seems like this was designed many years ago, in the infancy of mobile interaction design. Doesn't give me a sense of the importance of the world heritage site program, nor the engagement necessary to keep these sites in the public consciousness. Hope another publisher takes this on, because this app not only misses the mark, but misunderstands user expectations and goals of the WHS program.

Could be better

Not the best UN app I've used, it should be much better for the money you pay for. I got it for free, so it's okay.

Dating my visits

Very disappointed that the date will only allow you to mark TODAY! Just downloaded the app and have been to many of the sites, but when I try to change the date to when I was there, it keeps returning to today's date.

Love it... But

I love this app, because we are able to find the UNESCO as we travel. we also use the site to mark off the ones we have seen and still need to see. we have found sites we never knew existed in the area. However, the app needs the following:
1. Interactive map to find sites as you drive. Like Yelp or any other restaurant guide. Make it a little more practical to use as a tool to find and enjoy the sites.
2. More information on the sites. Yes the main website has more, but you don't always have access to the web if you are traveling. My SIM card would cost a fortune to use Internationally. Often guide books have nothing on smaller UNESCO sites.

Thanks, this app is great! We have been to more than 30 sites and will continue to explore the rest!

Very interesting concise guide to Earth's 'sights'

Great app for discovering new beautiful places to travel to or just for browsing some amazing sites.
Not sure why Vatican City is listed under "Holy See" and a few sites are missing images but otherwise a very nice app.
