User Reviews

Users praise the app's concept and usefulness for finding new outdoor/abandoned spots, especially within California. However, they repeatedly note significant downsides: the app largely ignores non-CA areas, bombards users with ads, employs gatekeeping that hinders broad access, and has outdated or sparse locations outside LA. Despite this, CA residents who use it report positive experiences and ongoing interest in more locations.
Pros
  • Easy to use
  • Cool concept for exploring outdoors and abandoned places
  • Gives you new places to visit and check out
  • Appears to work well for California/LA-area users
Cons
  • Coverage is heavily CA/LA-centric, with few if any spots outside California
  • Ads are intrusive and interrupt the experience
  • Gatekeeping / limited sharing makes the app feel exclusive and less open to a broad audience
  • Listings outside LA can be sparse and outdated
  • Some location images do not load or display properly

It literally doesn’t even show where you can go if you’re not in LA and I swear I got like 5 adds in 7 minutes, and literally the other reviews are super fake
