Ratings and Reviews
Disappointed!
Between 1949 and 1969 in a village in the south of England? Waste of time, just a few lines that mean nothing.
I, and I am sure many others would love to see this app updated, if the app included a few photos of the area’s or even be made to be able to upload some photos? then this app would be brilliant!
I would be quite happy to pay £1.99 to be able to look back in history without having to use the web search each time but to be able to use a brilliant app would mean a lot.
Please update 💐…… give you five stars if you do.
Seems good to me!
Nearly didn’t download this, with so many bad reviews, but I’m pleased I did. It’s really good on its coverage and I had no problem zooming in to get a high-res map, at least as far as I would expect from a scan of an old map. I had to give it a few seconds to clear, though, at least with my oldish iPad - newer ones would be much faster, I should think. Anyway, I can only assume that the problem complained of has been fixed.
This App should be removed from the App Store
This once fascinating resource has been reduced to a blurry icon and an unstable and unusable interface. While I appreciate that commercial users where using these maps and not paying for them it’s a shame there isn’t another way to make it a viable resource for people who are simply inquisitive about the places where they live. As it’s no longer functional there is no good reason for this App to be in the App Store. Please remove it.
