Die Sprache ist doch englisch, deutsch nur rudimentär vorhanden.
Die Welterbestätten die zu einer Gruppe gehören sollten zusammengehörig dargestellt werden.

A great resource

This is a great app if you’re interest in UNESCO sites. We visit as many as we can when we travel

Unhandlich, schreckliche Benutzeroberfläche, veraltet

Die App ist genau das wonach ich gesucht habe. Alle Weltstätten sind aufgeführt, man kann eine Wunschliste erstellen mit solchen, die man besuchen möchte und eine mit solchen, die man bereits besucht hat. Jedoch sieht sie die App aus als wäre sie für das iPhone 4 entwickelt wurden und das macht sie leider super unattraktiv. Ich würde den App-Entwicklern dringend empfehlen, sich hier im AppStore mal die App "been" anzuschauen. Selbes Konzept, nur mit Ländern anstatt konkreten Orten.
