User Reviews

Reviews praise Facades for its intuitive UI, rich store pages with history and past locations, and the ability to log visits and notes. The main drawbacks are data freshness and maintenance concerns, with several users noting the list hasn’t kept up with new stores. Additional requests include more photos per store and clearer explanations of design styles. Overall, a strong concept with room for updates and content enrichment.

Pros

Excellent, intuitive UI and easy-to-use design.
Rich, detailed store pages with history, photos, and past locations.
Ability to track visits, add notes and milestones, and save stores to a bucket list.
Strong niche appeal for Apple retail history enthusiasts.

Cons

Data freshness/maintenance concerns; appears abandoned with sparse updates.
Requests for more photos per store to enrich content.
Design style explanations are unclear or inconsistent; users want clearer explanations of design styles.

Recent reviews

The developer of this app got hired by Apple, so they are no longer allowed to develop/maintain apps. It’s a shame they didn’t find somebody else to take this over, but that means for now it’s abandoned.

I love the app and love tracking the stores I have visited but I do wish the list was being more consistently updated. The last store added was del amo that opened in Sept 2024 and I know more stores have opened since then. Please consider updating the list!
