Excited to see how this app develops and how it can be used to raise awareness of country ### 2/5 — Lovely concept, not really working *2019-07-10, version 1.2* Why is my app just always locked to the heart of Sydney CBD? I love this app in concept but am a bit perplexed by its execution. Regrettably uninstalling :( ### 4/5 — Excellent idea but audio not working on iPhone XR *2019-06-26, version 1.2* Audio works fine on an older iPad Pro, so I suspect it might be a problem with the newer Apple hardware? ### 3/5 — A great idea but needs more info *2018-12-19, version 1.2* I really like the idea of having a reference guide to nations and people all around Australia. Unfortunately the nations nearest to me aren’t on there yet. I hope to see them soon. ### 3/5 — Fantastic idea *2017-03-18, version 1.1* I understand the incredible complexity in creating an app such as this. But I agree with a previous reviewer around the automatic directing to the nearest nation that's in the app. I was sitting just south of Beenleigh and the app took me to Bundjalung country. I will definitely be sharing word of the app to encourage people to contact creators so that more comprehensive and accurate data can be put out there. ### 2/5 — Ok, but where next? *2016-03-16, version 1.1* I see the major tribes represented and the app is a useful tool however there are many countries that are not, it's a bit half baked. A map to discover nations would be great and also including endemic information about these areas will make it a lot more interesting. Conflicted about the app being supported by a liquefied natural gas company so let's hope future updates don't present a affronted agenda. ### 2/5 — Great app, but big problem *2016-03-15, version 1.1* I totally support this app and the service it provides. I only have one big problem, which is that when it didn't recognise that I'm in Jagara country, in West End, Brisbane, rather than saying so, it told me I was in the country of the nearest group it could find, which was one on the Sunshine Coast. I can imagine people who don't already know the local people then believing the local country is of a different group. I would much rather have the app tell visitors to West End that the local country's indigenous custodian group hasn't been identified at this stage, and then to give a generic welcome to country... Please fix this, and I will definitely bump up my rating! ### 5/5 — Best history lessons! *2016-02-25, version 1.1* Great initiative, looking forward to learning the history of our awesome country! ### 2/5 — Too buggy *2015-11-10, version 1.0* There's heaps of potential but it's too buggy to use with location settings off. ### 2/5 — Not quite there yet *2015-11-06, version 1.0* The concept is superb - however the constant weerianna pop up did not allow me to use it at all. More work is needed, but keep working on it! Much needed!! ### 5/5 — Beautiful and powerful. *2015-10-11, version 1.0* I've only watched 3 welcomes so far, now to see the rest! ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2015-10-10, version 1.0* A well made app that really comes in handy! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good start, but ... *2017-03-16, version 1.1* Why is so much cultural info in past tense, like a history lesson? We are still here doing what we do. Also GPS seems to be picking the closest, but not the right Peoples Country :( ... Would be better if it just highlighted neighbours if the info isn't there :) Hope it helps. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2016-03-13, version 1.1* There are only nine indigenous nations in Tasmania yet only three are listed. The information provided in the 'people and culture' tab is woefully inadequate. A great idea but the app seriously under delivers. ### 1/5 — Location pop up *2015-10-18, version 1.0* Frustrating forcing you to enable location services. Pop-up constantly appearing and won't go away! I would really like to use this app but at moment - delete! ### 1/5 — I really wanted this to work *2015-10-17, version 1.0* I love the idea of this app. However, ever since I downloaded it, my battery has died within 7 hours of charging- and it usually lasts all day. I guess it's because it's constantly checking for your location and you can't turn it off. Also disappointing that the group in North Brisbane that I was most interested in could not be found on the app. ### 1/5 — Needs more work! *2015-10-09, version 1.0* The pop up is annoying even when location is activated. Just over 30 entries. Before releasing should have added more. Great concept though. Please when you add more font go by the Tindal Map. That's rubbish. ### 1/5 — Bugs! *2015-08-22, version 1.0* Viewing disrupted repetitively by 'region monitoring disabled' pop up! ### 1/5 — Too buggy *2015-08-20, version 1.0* Unfortunately this app hasn't worked since I downloaded it. There is a pop up window that says 'region monitoring disabled' if you click okay it pops back up. I am not the only person this is happening to either... Hope this bug is ironed out soon. ### 2/5 — Needs an update BADLY *2021-06-30, version 1.2* This app would be fantastic if it had all the tribes listed. I travel all over NSW and would like to know the lands I’m visiting so I can acknowledge the traditional owners. Please update. Even the Wollongong mob are missing. Shame! ### 2/5 — Location, search and sound issues *2020-12-20, version 1.2* I really love this idea as this is what I was looking for, but coming south from mildura the app put me in SA and then NSW. And no sound in the welcome to country. I hope this app improves cos it’s well needed. ### 2/5 — More tribes *2020-07-23, version 1.2* You mob need to add way more data. This is a great idea, please don’t abandon this project! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic Resource *2022-04-12, version 1.2* Thank you to Tyson and the team from WSM Digital for a practical and easy to use App. ### 5/5 — So happy to have this info. *2017-06-25, version 1.1* Should be standard issue on every mobile in Australia. ### 5/5 — Thankyou *2017-03-20, version 1.1* This app is such a great concept and I look forward to seeing it grow. There seems to be no sound coming thru on the Larrakia video ### 5/5 — Marvellous *2016-03-14, version 1.1* Congratulations on a well overdue app. Great information. Looking forward to watching it grow. I will be telling all my friends. ### 5/5 — Simple, excellent *2016-03-11, version 1.1* What a great service! I look forward to seeing this database grow. ### 5/5 — Amazeballs *2016-03-10, version 1.1* Awesome. Just had a 'why hasn't anyone thought of this / tech really can be amazing' moment ### 5/5 — Highly recommended *2016-03-07, version 1.1* Great idea, well executed - many thanks ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-02-28, version 1.1* This needs to be an app for every syllabus at school. ### 5/5 — Welcome *2016-02-26, version 1.1* This app is great! I look forward to more additions especially the Boonwarung people. ### 5/5 — Closer to country *2016-02-25, version 1.1* What a brilliant app. I feel very grateful for the privilege of being given better insight to the traditional owners and custodians of the lands that I visit. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
