  It’s Great!

  For travel, or if you’re simply interested in learning about the demographics and points of interest of a particular place, this app works! It has a blend of text and pictures with lots of links to get further information if your inclined.

  World Explorer

  It's a good App. It works in consert with Wickapeda for your information. The only that will drive you crazy is when you download the app the "Eiffle Tower" is the demonstrated location projected for you to learn to operate the system, however tha Eiffel Tower is a default location and continues to pop up. You just can't not get rid of it. The The App developer said that he has fixed the problem with this Eiffel Tower problem. Not a chance, in fact it may have gotten worse. But once you get buy this problem, the App is really good.

  Pictures of places from my childhood in early 60

  I wanted to see how much Prestwick Scotland had changed since my childhood in the early 60's. Indeed in many ways it had changed but in many ways it was still the same. I was able to see where we lived and it was an old house then, so it really is old now. The ancient church and the cemetary was still there as I expected it to be along with our boyhood friends house. But where the golf course once was, there is now homes and since the Air base was closed it has now become an International Airport. Prestwick was a beautiful town then and it still is now. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the pics of landmarks that I remember from my pre-teen years.

  Google Maps and Wikipedia, nothing more

  It's just Google Maps on the left, Wikipedia on the right. Can't I do that with my web browser? So the only pictures we get are taken on the outside from a car driving by and the only information we get is from Wikipedia: the most trusted and reliable source of only accurate information on the net right? This is the most half assed non-attempt at a non-app. If this were truly a world explorer, it would highlight places, not require us to think of something to search for. It would have high quality pictures of the inside, audio tours, maybe panoramic interactive shots of the inside (think Tour Wrist on iOS), accurate official information from more than one source, maybe a travel guide, etc. There's a long list of things an app with this purpose should have that this is sorely lacking.
