Abandoned World - Urbex 4+

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 love the idea for this and was super excited to see what it was about. However the actual experience is weird, only a handful of places on here in my city of 1 million people and one of those was a can of soup. A CAN OF SOUP.
This app has so much potential but it’s just not there yet. I also think it is hilarious that every review mentioning how the places on here aren’t abandoned or don’t make sense, just gets an auto-response about thanking them for their input. Way to make your user feel unseen and unheard.

Hi thanks for reaching out.

Yes some old locations needs to be deleted (renovation, new owners, collapsed, etc)

If you think that location should not be listed please send us a report (button at bottom of the detail screen) and we will review & remove the data.

Did you know the « Feed » screen? It contains the most updated locations.

Finally all user feedback is crucial to me. There’s no automatic system other than me. Please use the following email to get in touch: contact@itsabandoned.com

Thank you, stay curious 🔦

I really love the idea of this app and seems pretty fun but there needs to be a way to take off places that were once abandoned but no longer are or are torn down. Theres been so many times I’ve tried using this app to find new abandoned places and the places would always end up being renovated or rebuilt or torn down. There has to be a way to keep these places updated but maybe there just is not any or enough people or resources to have someone check up on all of these places. Maybe if we could at least have a filter for places of what year they were first posted it would help prevent this from happening is the only other solution I can think of at the moment. Otherwise cool idea, just beeds some work. Thank you.

Hi there, thanks for the constructive review: 2 good news about it:
- It's possible to report places for deletion. See bottom button "Report". Side note: multiple places are deleted / added daily (see the FEED for instance)
- The filter by year is a good idea, I've added it to the backlog...
I will update this reply once it's available.
