Review summary

Whose Land is praised as a meaningful and powerful tool for identifying Indigenous territories and promoting reconciliation. Users appreciate its educational videos and unique concept. However, multiple reviews note technical issues like glitches and freezing, inaccuracies or omissions in mapping Indigenous lands, and a clunky, difficult-to-navigate user interface. Despite these problems, the app is valued for its intent and potential impact, with users hoping for improvements in accuracy and usability to make it a more reliable resource.

Pros

Helps users identify the Indigenous land or territory they are on, which is useful for acknowledgement and education.
Provides a powerful learning tool with informative content and videos about Indigenous peoples and lands.
Valued by users for promoting reconciliation and understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.
App presents an important and unique concept addressing Indigenous land recognition.
Users appreciate the idea and intent behind the app, seeing it as a positive tool for awareness.

Cons

App has technical issues such as glitches, loading problems, and sometimes not working or freezing at the home screen.
The map data is sometimes inaccurate or incomplete, missing certain Indigenous territories or not showing unceded lands clearly.
User interface and user experience need improvement; it's described as clunky, disorganized, and more like a webpage than an app.
Some discrepancies in land/territory identification leading users to question its trustworthiness.
Difficulty or inability to navigate the app easily, with poor functionality and occasional inability to search or retrieve information.

2020-07-02	Al*****	Currently working well for me! I haven't run into the issues others have stated yet. It does look like a webpage more than an app. The UX could use some work but it does the trick! Amazing idea and so glad this is out there!
