  Kept crashing

  Tried to use to help with my kid’s homework and app kept crashing after 5 seconds. Only $3 but still disappointed it wouldn’t work. Also, couldn’t locate markers by zip code which would have been convenient.

  Warning-scam-app does not work

  I purchased the app a Month ago and it has never once worked using the map view. I emailed the developer and never received a reply. Save your money.

• ★★★★★Everybody's Shrink

  Almost perfect

  Just one thing I would like to see added: the ability to call up a historical marker by marker ID number. Many have these IDs on the road sign, & you may not know exactly which county you’re in at the time.

  Map function crashes

  When trying to view on map, app crashes. You can see map if start with directions. Would be useful to be able to see markers in area on a map.

  Great app for TX travelers

  Love this app when I travel around the state of Texas. Must have for any road tripper and history lover!

• ★★★★★cazanoggin

  No search by number

  I wanted an app that I could use while driving. This one gives search by “title or subtitle” but not by number. If you want an app to search by number—this isn’t it.

• ★★★★★MirTyranda

  Bug Update Needed

  Very excited about this app! Unfortunately it crashes when doing almost anything + major lag on tap-to-screen interactions (including keyboard typing). Please consider an update or fix! 🙏🏼

  None of the historic markers were on the map

  Driving down the highways of TX for the last two days and literally none of the historic markers we passed we in this app. Waste of money. Plus it crashes when I try to refresh the map.

  Really good except “nearest markers”

  This is a really great app! Only issue is with location. After first installing it would never show my location. After deleting the app and reinstalling it will show my current location but the “Nearest Markers” option always returns “Cannot find - check that location services is enabled” - which of course it is. Tried toggling between “Always” and “When Using App” but no love. But I generally use the Geographic Regions mode which works great. And have learned a lot of Texas History! Interestingly when using the map in Geographic Regions mode, the app has no problem showing where I am on the map!

  Ugh!

  Can’t look up by marker number. I’m probably asking for my money back
