Ratings and Reviews
Loved the app, both as an armchair modernist and out on a real-life tour
Firstly, the app is very much in line with ‘the modernist’ aesthetic and brand and so it’s sleek and informative.
It was easy to download the app and get started. At first I did a couple of tours from the comfort of my sofa. Next time I used it was in real life when I went into Manchester. Really enjoyed it as it prompted me to a explore buildings up close that I’d always meant to look at and had never got round to.
The detailed information about each building, architect, history and design et cetera is brilliant. I’ll definitely do each of the tours that are already uploaded and hope there will be more in more cities soon.
One of the other good things is that you can leave a route if you run out of time and pick up where you left off next time you’re in the area ir back at home. If you’re doing a Manchester tour, a visit to the Modernist shop is a must, and if you’re not, their website is also a treat. A lot of their in-house publications and specialist design and architecture books relate to some of the places on the tours so it’s a great opportunity to explore the location more fully. There’s a wide range of architecture, modernism and design books too, of course.
Bravo ‘the modernist’. A great addition to their range of publications, real/life tours, shop/exhibition space and products.
Misleading and functions poorly
Advertises tours “across the UK” but only has two cities.
Forces download of tour rather than allowing to browse in detail.
Forces registration; and apple registration fails with error “didn’t recognize your details“. Why would it?
