If you are a fan of visiting interpretive and commemorative presidential sites — the unusual, the mainstream, or the downright puzzling — this app is a must-have. I have used this app on every road trip and vacation for the last nine years. My favorite features are “Been There,” where you can keep track of all the attractions you’ve visited, and the GPS pinpoints that help you find the sites in the first place. The latter is especially helpful when searching for offbeat presidential places you’re unlikely to find on a regular map or brochure.
The best!
Easy to use. Very informative.
Great app? Or GREATEST app?
This "Roadside Presidents" app is SO GREAT! I just got it yesterday and it showed me so much POTUS-related stuff around Dallas/Ft Worth I didn't know about (including statues of Washington through Madison hidden in a Ft Worth Mausoleum I visited/posted yesterday). It's going to make traveling more fun than ever.
Fun for the whole family!
One of our favorite apps. Where ever our travels may lead us, we check our Roadside Presidents. It amazing all the little known sites related to Presidents, Vice-Presidents, First Ladies, etc. to be found in the cities and back roads of America. It adds fun and educational value for the whole family.
A great App
As someone who loves looking up sites connected with the Presidents, this App is a great find! They have several sites on here that I've never heard of that I look forward to finding.
Must Have App
The Roadside crew have combed our nation for decades, collecting minutiae, factoids and ironic backstories about the presidents, neatly packaged for your discovery and enlightenment. We love it!
Personal opinions
It would be nicer to read if personal opinion was left out and only facts put in. This is clearly a democrats opinion and i am sorry i bought it
Fun Tips n Trivia!
Was fun to use as we traveled our 3K road trip leaf peeping and stopping at fun unique places not on the main attraction list!!
Must have for presidential historian buffs!
If you travel, if you love anything to do with presidents, if you love to make your wife hate you for extending the drive to your vacation Mecca just to see he biggest ball of twine, then you must own this app! Also, any substantiated presidential find you know of is welcomed with a minimum of background info. You can be the envy of all of us presidential geeks!
