## Palm Springs Modernism Tour Reviews in United States

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
I tried loading the twice, nothing happens. No audio
-- Large Format, 2025-03-28

### **--- "Not greatest helpful map"
Sadly the map will not really help you if you do not know the area. We then went to a visitors center which then sold us a paper map, same info for another $5.50. Even when we showed them we had bought the app.
-- Desert born monkey, 2025-02-04

### *---- "Not worth it"
Do not download, not worth it. Buggy app.
-- prescipitestre, 2024-12-31

### *---- "Very sloppy app"
Most of the written descriptions are cut off in mid-sentence, proving that nobody bothered to read the text. Several of the videos refused to load, and they mostly repeat the same descriptions that appear as text. Very disappointing!
-- M. French, 2023-08-23

### *---- "Waste of 4.99"
Navigation feature doesn’t work in app and won’t transfer to maps. You have to copy and paste each individual address.  

Basically I bought this so I wouldn’t have to build a custom route…. And I ended up doing it anyway.  This app led to more fights and close call traffic accidents then it’s worth. 

Also SUPER irritated that on several of the houses the info cuts off mid sentence, what’s up with that?

It is also supposed to tell you the best way to see the houses, this is especially important for the ones up the canyon. But all you see is driveways, fences or gates. 

Why are those houses included?
-- Umgriz08, 2023-05-28

### *---- "Disappointing"
Poor design, not user friendly. Always an advertisement when using even though it’s a pay app. Needs professional help.
-- Tyyugferyugferchufd, 2022-03-30

### **--- "Family sharing not functioning"
Purchased this and looked forward to driving around and looking at architecture with my wife. However although family sharing is set up for our phones, we would have had to pay again for it to be downloaded to my wife’s phone. Therefore called Apple to get refund
-- PL1111, 2022-02-05

### **--- "Out of Date"
Goes to many boring condo buildings. Biggest issue is many streets have become security gated, so you can’t get to the sites being described. A waste of money and time.
-- TobesandSami, 2021-06-03

### *---- "Worthless"
Don't buy this.  This App is worthless because the numbers don't accurately correspond.  Seems like an update was made but only half-way completed.  The information on the locations is good - but the problem is you get the wrong information when you arrive to a location.  A complete waste.
-- Anon 2021, 2021-05-10

### *---- "Just use Google"
You could easily google/wiki “modern sites in Palm Springs” and find the places listed here plus more info about all of them. I thought more houses would be included but it’s lots of airport/city hall/library type buildings and several of the houses were just barely viewable from the street.
-- JeremyBentham1748, 2020-10-25

### **--- "Needs Correcting..."
So far I’ve only looked at 10% to 20% of all the sites listed, but I’ve found several errors. The structure of the app and the quality of the photos is very good, but the overall impression due to the errors is not. Errors include mismatches between site names and the associated photos and incorrect naming of an architect. I expected MUCH better.
-- Flatlander_48, 2020-10-03

### ****- "Worth the $5"
I was a little dubious given some of the reviews, and it wasn’t perfectly seamless, but after the first view sites we got into a rhythm of toggling back and forth between mapping and sites. When tour buses are safe again, that may be a better option, as we couldn’t see over some gates from our car. But $5 was a great price for a 90-minute, air conditioned, family activity with art, history, culture, geology, and navigation. And that was only one tour, there’s still two more we can do!
-- Felicia Cumnock, 2020-07-17

### ***** "Palm Springs Modern Tour"
Latest version is fast, stable and works great. Early issues have long been resolved.
-- Mod Guy, 2020-05-07

### ***** "Packed with Info!"
As a Coachella Valley resident and avid historian, I have found the information in this app extremely useful. The factual addresses, photos and details about significant modern architecture in Palm Springs is invaluable. Many thanks to Palm Springs Modern Committee for this educational and fun app.
-- PSlocal, 2020-05-01

### ***** "Excellent and informative"
This app is great 
Do much fun and do much great information 
I would highly recommend for all Architectural enthusiasts and anyone just curious about Palm Springs !!
-- Gleetz, 2020-04-27

### ****- "Very Helpful"
My family just used this - it downloaded in a few seconds - there’s tons of information. It’s great. No technical difficulties whatsoever. 

We drove around and used the audio function so it was like we were at a museum. Highly recommend for a day trip. 

Only problem is that many of the most famous houses are hidden. If the app could link to tours of homes that might be helpful.
-- ;)-&-@/@, 2020-02-21

### *---- "Does not download"
As other reviewers said, just doesn’t work!   Don’t do it!
-- Unsinkable Solutions, 2019-03-28

### *---- "Won’t download. Apple will not refund."
Do not purchase!
-- Gnidoog, 2019-02-22

### **--- "It could have been so much better!"
I bought this to take a self-guided tour of modernist homes in Palm Springs. The information, photos, and recorded narratives were great. Unfortunately, there are some serious shortcomings that made the app difficult to use for navigation. The driving directions, when used through the app, cause the GPS sound not to work, so it requires a person to navigate in addition to the driver.

I set up a Favorites Tour, which seemed like a great idea, but although the app asked for location tracking, it didn’t use that information to put the tour in a sequence that made sense for my current location.

As far as apps go, this one was expensive and I expected better performance.
-- TTurpin, 2019-02-05

### *---- "Crashes non Stop"
Not only does the app not use your GPS to “guide” you, it crashes constantly when you click on the images. You have to click the images since most of the houses have walls or gates so you cant even see them. Go to youtube and view the houses from your house to see them better.
