Has promise

The idea is great and it’s fun to read more about the signs I’ve passed but wasn’t able to stop at, as well as learn more about an area. The layout is where I see the most opportunity to improve. The bottom 1/3 of the screen is wasted with 4 buttons (nearby, already visited, history today, and bookmarked). There is no way to minimize that so the usable map space is too small. When there are multiple markers in an area (shown by a number, not icon) it would be better if a list popped up first to determine if you want to go see it. When you tap on the number, it goes to a smaller number 2 or 3 times before you can see the individual icons and then read them.

A little disappointed in the lack of markers. There are many places I know of near me that aren’t marked. Maybe have a way that users can submit places for review

Did I miss something? I like the app and it’s grade would’ve been better if I could find information on possibly getting an ad free pro version.

Too many, long ads in between each marker selected. By the time the marker info came up, we were already past the marker.
