Make it supported with iPhone 5. Also, more pictures and better graphics would make it solid. Maybe put basic info like who designed, when completed, & location on the top so its easy to see. Like chart form. Make it like flash cards

This is the best nick name I could think of.
This app has been very useful to me, and I really appreciate it! The only thing I could ask for in addition would be to list some more architects and buildings around the world... For example I didn't see Greenwich, England listed and I would have liked to see the Royal Naval Hospital designed by architect Christopher Wren (whom I also did not see in the list of architects). Another good example is San Simeon, the lavish California estate located in San Francisco, and designed by Julia Morgan. But overall great app for people who are interested in architecture! Thanks again!!!

Needs more, and for less $

I was impressed with the app at first but it lacks details and pictures that could easily be found online through any and every search engine. Additionally I was very disappointed in the 'time limited trial'. If the app was updated with some more content and the price brought down to a dollar or two, it would get five stars. But for now, it gets one. :(

Missing prominent icons of architecture

I'm an architect working internationally and this would be handy in my travels, but it's missing things like Fosters HK bank or Corbu's flat in Paris, places ppl in our profession would know about. I wouldn't pay for the premium version unless I see a complete list of the sites within.
