Historical Markers for Negative User Reviews

✓ Educational, But Lacks Area Search FeatureThis seems like an obvious and crippling exclusion -- the ability to search for markers in a specific locale from another location to learn about it, perhaps in anticipation of a visit or as a student. Otherwise, the information is intriguing and I've learned some surprising things about my area..Aviarian81Version: 1.6

✓ Great idea but the app needs to fix some bugsI’ve had a very difficult time getting the markers to open when tapping on the pin on the map. Some open the first time while many others don’t open at all. If this is resolved I’ll be much happier as I love the idea of this app.Reedo12421Version: 3.5

✓ Abandoned appThe app is no longer being updated and doesn’t work well on iPhone XR..Edward R.Version: 3.5

✓ Can someone make this better please?I do a lot of driving around the country and don't have the time to stop at these historical markers. I would love an app that actually had some info. I thought that maybe by now the creator would have improved or updated his data, but NO just names and cords for almost all. Sad to say but not even worth $0.99. Don't feed this guy any more $ till he produces..C.MozVersion: 0

✓ Good, but bug...I was excited to get the app today but discovered a major flaw. Every marker I click on pulls up an almost invisible bubble outline. It took me a while to even see it and then took much longer to realize these bubbles are suppose to be text filled to allow me to see what I clicked. Clicking on the near invisible bubbles does take me to the desired page, but the process is needlessly difficult. Either clicking on the marker itself should open the page, or the bubbles should be more obvious with text. Can this please be fixed, as it is clearly a bug? Thank you. *As a side note, I have sent this as an email to support and have since gotten 3 “failure to send” notifications over the past week. This means the email you have set on the support page does not work properly..Czilla85Version: 3.5

✓ Poor designNo obvious way to use the app. No instructions. No typical usage scenarios. Does not appear to have any push functionality at all - which makes it worthless unless you want to drive down a road trying to watch your iPhone screen at the same time in case you drive up on a historical marker - and as far as I can tell, you'd be out of luck even if you did because I don't think the app would even show the marker as you drove by. I drove by several historical markers and there was no alert. I can't even see any markers on the map. What the heck is the filter for? Does it exclude, or include? And why would I be interested in universities and theatres? What about HISTORY?? Worthless app..TexasgamingcomishVersion: 2.2

✓ Historical MarkersI have trouble when I touch the marker icon making it pop up. It used to work better but it’s terrible now..DdwwaayynneeVersion: 3.5

✓ Good, but needs updateThis app is sufficient for my needs and I have found a lot of markers I would of otherwise not known. However the app is very buggy and clearly needs and update though it is mainly usable..InatrhisVersion: 3.5

✓ Misses so manyI like the format. But we pass many markers that don’t appear in the app. Going to look for a more complete listing.Dripping readerVersion: 3.5

✓ Won’t WorkI have had this app for a few years. I can no longer open any links. My phone is new and software is kept updated..ConnieFayVersion: 3.5

✓ I paid for this???So the app doesn’t work, any markers you’re interested in, when you click on the map for info, the app force closes, want to go into settings, nope, app force closes. Don’t buy this app..TimomusicmanVersion: 3.5

✓ Lots of potential but no dataThe idea for this app is great, but the program doesn't really seem to have gotten off the ground. I was driving highway 50, which has a historical marker every few miles, and only one of them was listed with data about the marker in this app. Some of the markers showed up as pins on the map of this app, but did not contain any information about the site. Some of the pins indicating a marker was present wouldn't even open. What a bummer. If they can get the information on the sites uploaded, and some of the problems with opening new pages, this will be a great app..LnlayneVersion: 0

✓ Speech engine terrible. Database good.The speech engine is absolutely terrible (meaning the voice you listen to which "reads" the markers out loud). It sounds like a bad 1980's version of a talking robot. Hard to understand. I realize a good speech engine may be expensive but you can't advertise "text to speech" and have it be as lousy as this. The database interaction is great, so if you travel and want to sit and read on your phone what the local markers say, then this would be fine for that. But I was hoping this would read the markers to me as I drive past them. I guess it will, but it will be painful to listen to..SteveinKosovoVersion: 3.3

✓ App is not working properly!Please update the app! When you click on a pin in map view, a faint outline of a box appears. It’s a toss of the dice as to whether or not the marker description will open on a new screen. This app USED to be great; please fix it! Edit: Received a personal and prompt reply from the developer, who promises to fix the bug! Thank you!.NhleenVersion: 3.5

✓ DisappointedDownloaded this while driving through Texas/south towing our RV. The roadside historical markers were of interest but not practical to pull over for. Figured this app would be the answer, not so much. We've reached NV now and finally it has some roadside markers that show up for us to read while driving by. Needs additional roadside entries..More Money pleaseVersion: 3.5
