2024-06-27	Tr*****	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.

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???

2020-04-21	Li*****	This is a very cool app for visitors and also locals, featuring Boston locations as well as many in the greater Boston area. You can search by architect, by neighborhood, etc. Lots of great content. One thing to be aware of: at present, you must have location services turned on when using the app. If you set to “never,” you can’t see any of the content. Definitely worth paying for.

2017-06-13	MM*****	This is a fun guide! Enjoy building gawking at a whole new level. Fills you in on the impressive, the beautiful, the interesting and the funky buildings and places that you encounter as you bop around the city. Wonder no longer as you wander.
