Locations are being added on a daily basis for multiple subjects. Users will also be able to add their own location by visiting the website stompmaps.com propelling the app adding locations supporting the locally owned businesses, parks and recreation as well as other local attractions.
Waste of $2
As limited as this app is, I'm surprised it's not freeware. There are a few good, but mostly bad things about it. Bad: --The registration process is a pain. Seems kinda buggy, taking me several tries to complete. You can't register unless you upload a picture. --It's really geared toward California residents. Probably half of the listings are in or near that state. --The number of attractions listed is extremely small and can only be looked up one at a time, through menu listings. There is no map view where you can view everything that is in a geographic area. This is the deal killer for me. If you want to look up things to do in your area, you're 1000x better served by pulling up Google or even better, Atlas Obscura. Instead, Stomp wants you to wade through a bunch of menus to view small blurbs and THEN a map, but only of that one thing you picked. Pros: --It looks nice and is easy to read. --If you can stand to navigate the menus for one thing at a time, there are some very interesting listings.
