Impossible to use
You can’t paste in the search bar. You can’t scroll down on a map without it scrolling the bottom page up which is where the other maps are. The maps are not listed in timeline order or any seeming order. Impossible to use.
United StatesGreat idea, but many problems
The app is a great idea, but it is impossible to zoom all the way in and the maps are too out of focus to read much of the writing. I also think that the user interface could be more straightforward, with a backarrow to return to the previous page.
United StatesBad support for mobile devices
Keeps bugging with zooming and crashes quite a bit.
United StatesUnimpressed
First it was supposed to be free but charged my cc $1.25. Then the maps were difficult to navigate and not particularly useful.
United StatesCool app … when it works
Cool in concept but the map zoom is glitchy.
United StatesMinor bugs, great app
This is a very good tool, yes the pop ups and glitches can be annoying but just close the app and get back in. It is a very useful resource for planning a Route 66 road trip or looking for abandoned towns that died with the railroad and other uses
United StatesWebsite is better
Problems with zooming. Website is great, app is not.
