Map function crashes

When trying to view on map, app crashes. You can see map if start with directions. Would be useful to be able to see markers in area on a map.

Great app for TX travelers

Love this app when I travel around the state of Texas. Must have for any road tripper and history lover!

No search by number

I wanted an app that I could use while driving. This one gives search by “title or subtitle” but not by number. If you want an app to search by number—this isn’t it.

Bug Update Needed

Very excited about this app! Unfortunately it crashes when doing almost anything + major lag on tap-to-screen interactions (including keyboard typing). Please consider an update or fix! 🙏🏼

None of the historic markers were on the map

Driving down the highways of TX for the last two days and literally none of the historic markers we passed we in this app. Waste of money. Plus it crashes when I try to refresh the map.

Really good except “nearest markers”

This is a really great app! Only issue is with location. After first installing it would never show my location. After deleting the app and reinstalling it will show my current location but the “Nearest Markers” option always returns “Cannot find - check that location services is enabled” - which of course it is. Tried toggling between “Always” and “When Using App” but no love. But I generally use the Geographic Regions mode which works great. And have learned a lot of Texas History! Interestingly when using the map in Geographic Regions mode, the app has no problem showing where I am on the map!

Ugh!

Can’t look up by marker number. I’m probably asking for my money back

Crashing

Needs updating. Keeps crashing! Otherwise a great app. This is a Texas necessity. A Texessity!

Poor customer service

I've tried repeatedly to contact this site. No response. I love it, but there MUST be a way to turn off the incessant alerts

great info, glad I found this app

wish the location would refresh faster and figure out, when driving, what markers are coming up ahead .. am passenger trying to give interesting narrative to what is coming up
