Adventurers Must
I’ve been using this Ap for years and years. Before it was an Ap, I’d have it open in a browser and keep hitting refresh. But I love traveling and this Ap is a one stop shop to find everything rad. I can’t say enough about this Ap.
Needs a lot of work
Ok, first off - no scaling for iPad? Please remove iPad as compatibility, then. That’s table stakes for app development at this point. Finally got in, know of a few listings in my area so tried to pull them up and saw a bubble, but nothing would come up. I’ve deleted the app and will continue to use their website…driving more ad traffic I’m sure…so where’s the motivation for a good mobile app folks? Put some more effort into this and put a couple bucks on the price.
Shake it Up !!
AO never fails to derail me from my serious scrolling as the tales and photos capture my mind …. Every time !!!
So interesting!!
Best app to learn the back story or find interesting sites near you or along the way during your travels! I have learned so much and turned my kids into sleuths as we travel! Fun way to engage your kids as you explore!
Best App EVER
We use AO all the time during our travels. There are so many cool things to do and see. We recommend it to any of our friends that are traveling. Great app.
Don’t download this!
I installed it and to its credit it did have some neat information. It’s locked in the position where it installed and can’t be moved. I tried to uninstall it and I cannot. It’s been he only app on my phone that isn’t iPhone proprietary that doesn’t allow it to be uninstalled. I don’t trust this app and want it gone.

enjoy it on a daily basis. this is the way i start my day. we bought the boxed book set too.
