[2012-03-29] Gladston: Desire HD Good idea but too many bugs |
|
[2012-03-26] Faisal Mughram: Nice, but Nice concept but the app needs some work to be faster. |
|
[2012-02-02] Sam: Incorrect information The very first building I checked out had the wrong construction cost by a factor of 100! |
|
[2012-02-01] epinox: Tablet Support Please The idea is a very good one. But it is missing a fundamental property; we cannot observe these buildings on our big screen tablets. Please provide tablet support. The app is already halfway there (I tried it on tablet before you stop allowing it). It will only take 1/5th of the effort to make it tablet/able. Thank You |

|
[2011-09-03] Iinside: need move to SD card option.. |
|
[2011-09-03] James: Fantastic app! Although there could be small improvements like search by location rather than just building names. Awesome otherwise |

|
[2011-08-28] Todd: Nice app! Really cool app as i figured it would be pretty boring but it's not! Has some really nice information about buildings, malls, etc. |
|
[2011-08-28] Vivu: Cool |
|
[2011-08-28] lester: Can't search a city Can't search by architect either, this would be cool if say, you could search barcelona and see the major buildings, or search gaudi and see buildings |
|
[2011-08-28] Trey: Decent It force closes a little to much on my thunderbolt. |
|
[2011-08-28] DJRits: Pretty good but too many FC's Pretty neat app but a bit slow and FC's every time I try to share something to Facebook or Twitter. |
|
[2011-08-27] Pusher P: Pyadhrr p Lol |
|
[2011-08-27] De'Von: This is... Pretty awesome |
|
[2011-08-27] Black: Glitchy... First, screen won't rotate for Droid 3/2/1/Ally etc owners with keyboard. Sliding while loading in app FCs app. Good idea, not so good coding. |
|
[2011-08-27] Thomas: Awesome App Pretty cool app I learned a lot about my area in a short time will definitely keep this one around. No problems on DX Apex |
|
[2011-08-27] aidyizzat: Great app to learn bout buildings Lots of pictures give insights of places. |
|
[2011-08-27] Jason: Not working at all. |
|
[2011-08-27] Tim: The app functions Content proofing hopefully will someday be important. 3 buildings in my area had incorrect descriptions and photos. It's the wrong building, dude! |
|
[2011-08-26] Lacika: Great Just wow |
|
[2011-08-26] Lochcarren: Good concept Good idea, but not quite finished. Some search and filter options appear not to work |
|
[2011-08-26] Boris: Slow Loading of buildings is slow (I'm on a fast wifi!). Nice otherwise |
|
[2011-08-26] Ashton: Cool App This is a really cool innovative app |
|
[2011-08-26] James: Great App Wish there were interior photos as well. A little slow to load. Awesome concept! |
|
[2011-08-26] Gio: Its ok but Needs more buildings... Dubai for example |
|
[2011-08-26] liam: Won't load SgsII |
|
[2011-08-26] Mark: Arkeytek Stinks. I live in nyc and when i hit local, it showed buildings in Turkey. Turkey! |
|
[2011-08-25] Christopher: Not impressed Not impressed with the pictures. |
|
[2011-08-25] the 8/25/2011 Great app Great app |
|
[2011-08-25] Elizabeth: Nice concept... A lot of the pictures aren't good and there needs to be more details about the buildings |
|
[2011-08-25] Gennady: Crashes All the time. Major bldng not included. Poor design. Poor collection. Nrfpt |
|
[2011-08-25] the 8/25/2011 Has potential, but a bit slow refreshing on desire S. Apparently wrong built dates shown in summary, but correct in detailed info on place. |
|
[2011-08-25] Carole: Sucks Useless |
|
[2011-08-24] Jamie: Bad Info for all in Chattanooga, TN is wrong. How can a building be built in 2020 and been in operation for 80 years? Get your information correct. |
|
[2011-08-24] Jake: High quality little app. Well polished and fun. Go to website for additional information |
|
[2011-08-24] Adam_SB: Fun & enormous app! Use to find peculiar spots on your travels or those not far from home, too. I was surprised at the number of quirky places within 50 miles of my house |
|
[2011-08-24] Maum: Won't move to SD card... uninstalled it. |
|
[2011-08-24] jose: Wow Best app ever! Robust, simple and well designed (duh). Awesometasticissimo!!! |
|
[2011-08-24] Faheem: Its cool to use n quite awesome. Hope they come up with more sites on it |
|
[2011-08-24] Darbraun: Love the concept. Hate the load times. Whether on 3g or wifi it takes a long time to load up searches, images & additional pages. Would use this heavily as I am a photographer. |
|
[2011-08-24] FEDGE: The wait time isn't bad. Quit complaining. The information is being sent to space and back.. Give it a minute |
|
[2011-08-24] keith: the frequent updates show that they're trying to make it better. it's a good idea, and it's newest update makes it closer to perfect |
|
[2011-08-24] Roger: Excellent Very nice. |
|
[2011-08-23] Robert: Robert |
|
[2011-08-23] joe: Joe So far like it. didn't use it much but so far l like it |
|
[2011-08-23] Nathan: Interesting, but unusably slow on Captivate. |
|
[2011-08-23] edgecliff: Really cool concept. Mapping right, info wrong. Really wrong. Cincinnati gardens made of maple??? |
|
[2011-08-23] Anonymous: Cincinnati Gardens entry misread. EC, It does not say the Cincinnati Gardens is made out of maple, it says it was modeled after the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto Canada. Check it out. |
|
[2011-08-23] Mark: Freeze App constantly stauls even over WiFi |
|
[2011-08-23] Jerome: Excellent app. Very informative. |
|
[2011-08-23] Darren: Only 3 stars as although very informative, has bugs!! Pages don't load, crashes, etc... Plz fix! SE Arc. |
|
[2011-08-23] Doreen: Doreen This is a fun & informative app. It gave me some ideas of off the beaten path places to see when I was visiting. Overall I really enjoy this app. |
|
[2011-08-22] Brian: Rubbish I put the two most famous buildings in Liverpool not there!!!! |
|
[2011-08-22] @REEVEderci: Good idea but it seems like Europe (e.g. Paris, Brussels) doesn't have anything to show, which is not true. |
|
[2011-08-22] Rob: Had to 5* for exceeding any expectations. Got a fair amount of info on my area. Very interesting. |
|
[2011-08-22] william: Search/GPS glitch Nice app, but after you run a search it wacks out the GPS coordinates. Buildings show nearby accurately but display as being thousands of miles away. |
|
[2011-08-22] Scott M. Sanders: Promising It needs more in my area and not from local historical profiteers -- promising though. |
