Abandoned World - Urbex 17+

I love this app and can see it being very useful for adventures. My main problems are that you can’t close out of some of the GUI’s that take up half the screen causing a difficult and frustrating time navigating the map, and that you cannot zoom out all the way out of the map. This causes frustration. Also, I think a feature that should be added is the ability to let the OP remove their own photos/contributions from certain locations.

I also believe there needs to be a better filter for photos being posted. There are some places where people just spam fake photos and others where people spam unrelated photos. There was an area in Virginia where someone had spammed a location with rock concert photos. It was very annoying to report each and every single one.

Those are just some critiques. I love the app and it’s very useful when used properly.

Hi,
did you know that you can clear the map controls by pressing anywhere on the map? Then the map is cleared.

You can report any pictures for deletion or the entire location.


Yes, the filter for recent uploads is the most requested pictures by users, I'm taking this into account for the future.

Thanks for reaching out, many improvements are outlined in this review :)

I was a little skeptical of this app at first, but it really is free with ads and has tons of locations available. The app itself could use polish, but it is obvious from the reviews that the developer actively listens to reviews and try’s to implement changes from community feedback which is really cool.

My biggest complaint so far is the search engine could use improvements. So far users can only search by location or keyword, it would really improve the user experience if it was possible to filter results on the map using keywords, like the “search this area” feature on google maps. Another recommendation would be adding the ability to search using multiple keywords at the same time (Ex. “England” + “Factory”)

I am looking forward to exploring locations on this app.

Hi McDonald, yes there’s a lot of improvement with the search. To share with you the plan: I plan to use AI to search efficiently through the database. There are a couple of easy features to deliver 1st then afterwards I can look into the search. It’s on the backlog anyway.

Thanks a lot for this awesome detailed review.

I love the idea of this app, don’t get me wrong. I wish you could add a feature where we can mark an abandoned place, I live in a very rural area, where i see a bunch of abandoned houses. But they don’t show up on the map. I would love too mark areas for people who like to explore too. Speaking of the map, the things at the bottom is kinda annoying and is hard to navigate because it’s there, why not add a feature where you can remove it? The idea itself is awesome and has so much potential.

Hi thanks for reaching out, you can add those places with the + button.
Did you know you can remove/hide the controls of the map by pressing anywhere on the map? I can send screenshots details by mail contact@itsabandoned.com
