## Explorest Reviews in United States

### **--- "Pay (too much) to Play"
I’ve used this app for several years. At the beginning it was fun and easy to use to find places to photograph near where I was traveling. I travel a lot and am a humble amateur photographer. After all these years of using this, it is no longer fun. Very few locations are shown for just the annual membership fee. About 80% of the locations are only accessible if you pay the pricy Explorest Pro fee. After careful consideration I’m canceling my subscription.
-- PlanetLynjo, 2026-01-25

### *---- "App doesn’t load despite active internet connection"
This app used to be extremely helpful and I really relied on it while it was working. That’s exactly why this situation is so disappointing.

I’ve been experiencing an ongoing issue where the app gets stuck on the loading screen and shows the message “Oops. You have no internet connection”, even though my internet is working perfectly (Wi-Fi and cellular).

I have an active paid membership, so this is especially frustrating. At the moment, the app is completely unusable, and there’s no indication whether this is a temporary outage, a bug, or if the app is still being actively supported.

As a paying user, I’d really like to understand:
Is this app still functional and maintained?
Is there a fix coming?

Otherwise, it’s unclear why I’m paying for a membership I can’t actually use. Please address this issue or provide clear communication to your users.
-- Миталкорова, 2025-12-23

### *---- "Still Working?"
Is this app still in use? Couldnt even open the app anymore so I uninstalled and re downloaded, now I can’t log in
-- mcahill98, 2025-06-15

### *---- "Just use google maps"
I could justify the price tag if it actually provided useful info. If you can afford the price tag you should be able to determine what equipment to use and when to use it. There is a significant lack of locations and they are either instagram hotspots or drone shots. And if you don’t want to be that annoying person buzzing a drone above people this app is extremely useless.
-- dbvvff, 2025-02-16

### *---- "Sold out"
Used to be a pretty cool app. Photographers uploaded their work with locations, gear recommendations and information about how they got the shot. I went to check the app recently and saw that they now want you to buy a 50$ membership per year to see the locations. I think it’s appalling that they used other people’s work and now want us to pay for the information they acquired for free. Deleting this app.
-- Used to be useful, 2024-03-23

### ***-- "New update stinks"
New update is not good for finding photos near you. Every time I click a photo near me, the screen updates to a city completely away from me. It’s hard to find your list of saved places. Was better the old way, whatever that was
-- Chris Myles, 2024-03-06

### *---- "I’m in Washington DC NOT NYC!"
Try tho I might, this app gps locates me in DC but shows only locations of interest in NY. The only locations returned in DC are hotels. I’m out!
-- thrumyiz, 2023-12-29

### ***-- "It’s a good start"
I honestly believe that this app is a good start. I’ve had this app for about five months now and I travel within the US. Unfortunately it doesn’t show me many places to shoot from example I’m making a trip to Florida next month. I know there are tons of people who go to Florida every year. However, they have no locations it pulls up something from China. I feel like when they add more locations in the country. This will be a great app.
-- magnum510, 2023-05-26

### ****- "Helpful app, no doubt in that"
If not all but many of the information people shared is very helpful. It doesn’t show when was an article was shared, so I have no clue if the app is getting updated with new information or not, whether those “how to get there” are still relevant or not. Weather related information is dynamically updated anyway. Overall, to me it’s a decent purchase.
-- deemuhn, 2023-04-01

### ***** "One of a kind app"
I recently discovered Explorest and I’ve been blown away by how useful it is for travel. The app is super easy to use and has a sleek, modern design that makes it a pleasure to use. One of the things I love most about Explorest is the wide range of locations it covers. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems off the beaten path, the app has something for everyone.
