  After purchase, app dies

  I just bought this for $3.99 but when you click to open, it immediately closes. I have tried to reboot phone. Reinstall app. ChatGPT told me to turn my location on for the app, but that setting isn’t available.

  Adding 2nd device is confusing

  I originally trashed this app because adding 2nd device didn’t’t work. After playing with it I was able to get if working on my 2nd device. Only 4 stars for the confusion. The app is fun and leads you to all the quirky spots you shouldn’t find on you own. For those not willing to pay for all access - stop whining it’s $7.99. Come on, really??

  Usually awesome. Today it didn’t work

  I got this app in 2014. I unlocked all regions for an additional $5.99. It’s been working perfectly until today. Now, all of a sudden, the only unlocked region is Canada. No matter what I do I can’t unlock all regions. I tried to restore, and it says I restored, but it’s still only shows the Canadian region. And I’m on vacation and wanted to use it like I always do on vacation. Usually love the app, now I’m just an extremely unhappy customer. ***** update.****** I reached out to customer service and they got back to me within one business day. I am back up and running and very happy. Thank you, Susan!

  Has greatly improved every road trip I’ve taken for years.

• ★★★★★Kaim25

  Enjoy It Mostly!

  I wish that there were more than one or two destinations per town. I’d love to help support by adding locations, with information and pictures if I can in some way.

• ★★★★★Stash$

  Don’t download

  Paid $3 and the app is dead nothing there

• ★★★★★Dr REO

  Wonderful!

  We use this site all the time while traveling, and the app adds so many tools. Well worth purchasing! Of course, we are old retired folks who have time to stop at interesting things!

  Love Love Love

  I am not exaggerating when I say that we use this app constantly. It’s the first thing I open when researching a trip to a new area and I check it often to see if we have anything new around us. When we have a day or a weekend and want a little adventure we start here. We have seen so many things that we never would have known about.
