more I love this app! It is especially useful when traveling. It is like having a tour guide with you while walking the streets of a new city. Imagine the moment in which your spouse/kid/friend points to an unusual looking building and asks what it is. Now, instead of making up an answer, just pull out the app. In all seriousness, so far I love this app.
