Just got the app and already discovered the map for Hyde Park doesn’t work. Some pins show up on a blank page and even the pins are hit or miss. Haven’t looked at other neighborhoods but disappointed so far. Also there is no entry for the historic Westinghouse Plaza nor the former racetrack in Hyde Park. Both very worthy historical spots of interest.

App is way better after the update, sometimes pages take a little while to load but I’ve got time. I wish the tiles on the discover page were more interesting. Great app over all. I love being able to look at the map of Cambridge and see all the pins and check out what’s what. I wish the pages for the different buildings had more pictures. P.s. No LeCorbusier Carpenter Center???

This app has never worked for me. Requests for support go completely unanswered. I am sorry I bought it.
