Review summary

Explorest offers a great concept with a beautiful UI and inspiring photography locations, but it suffers from a major lack of location coverage globally, making it frustrating for many users seeking local spots. The app struggles with interface usability, content submission transparency, and some technical issues like crashes and loading errors. While the photo quality and ability to plan trips are praised, the limited content and poor user experience lead many users to find it less useful than competitors or simple web searches.

Pros

Unique and appealing concept focusing on photography locations.
Good graphic design and user interface with a pleasant user experience.
High-quality photos that inspire users to explore and take more pictures.
Ability to save and organize a list of places to visit.
Useful for discovering unique or hidden photographic spots beyond typical travel guides.

Cons

Very limited number of locations, especially lack of content in many countries (e.g., Canada, Czech Republic).
App often shows far away or irrelevant locations instead of nearby spots.
Significant user frustration with the UI/navigation including nonfunctional back button and confusing interface.
Issues with content submissions not showing or lack of communication about acceptance/rejection.
Some users experience app crashes or loading problems, including offline connection errors despite being connected.

2023-07-23	IA*****	Honnestly the concept and graphic design of the app are really good. The main issue is the lack of spots. It's down to a good diversity of contries, but way way behind competitors like Locationscout. Still, the quality of the shots is better, but I wished after 3 years of using it, that much more content creators would join the app ! Hopefully it will keep doing better in the future !

2023-01-26	Gu*****	Imagine needing to sign up to see some of the most common landmarks and literally not a single place in your own country, at least let me check if there's something for me in before forcing me to register for nothing.
