Fotospot Road Trip Community

I’ve used this app for a couple of years now and started when we traveled the entire West Coast and saw so many things that we never would’ve saw. Had we not been able to use this app. However, the last few months I have been unable to see anything at all besides my immediate area. When we were in Vegas and April, I was super disappointed because it wouldn’t update as we moved between Vegas and the Grand Canyon so I feel like we might’ve missed so many things. Although the time before when we were in Vegas, we were able to see all kinds of things. We are about to go on another trip to New England in August and I am so hoping that the app is fixed by then for me. I will say a positive is the ability to download off-line maps because when we were in Yellowstone last year, it came in handy quite a bit!

I love this app so much! I do a lot of travelling for work and this helps keep it interesting when I have to go to new locations. I'm also pretty excited about all the guides being free now as well.

The concept is great for this app but it’s super buggy. You can work around a few of the bugs but not all. I will continue using it and hopefully it will get some updates.

the app gives nothing worth the initial price, and then asks money for spots in national parks available for no fee. save your money, don’t feed scoundrels, they breed flies and other pests like themselves.

Love ForoSpot! None of the lame drama of social media sites and tons of great sites I’d never have discovered without it. Highly recommended!

I just found this app. We are more than half way through our road trip. I found some amazing spots in towns like St Charles MO. And fascinating abandoned buildings. Throughout Kansas. I wish I could alert more people. And I wish this app would let me add a spot. If I can add one I haven’t figured that out.

This app is absolutely phenomenal! After retirement, I spend a lot of time doing road, trips and photography. This app has everything you need to help you see the United States, and all the great things that are there!

I have been using FotoSpot for awhile and I am pleased to report that I have no intention of discontinuing its use or reverting to using travel books and magazines. FotoSpot has explored thousands of tourist attractions in all 50 States, including locations such as the “The Cursed Stone Couch” in Pennsylvania (where I live), which I had never heard of, but I found extremely interesting. Wherever you may be, you can check for attractions that are close by simply tapping the “Nearby” button in the app or, if you prefer, tapping on the map icon for a view of your location where you can zoom in and choose “show Fotospots in this area.” Clicking on any visible mini-camera will tell you where it’s located. Clicking again will display a picture of the attraction and a detailed explanation. While on the screen, you have the option to save that location for later or, if you’re already there, add a photo for other users to view. On this screen, you can click on the “Been Here” button or the ”Check-In” feature, which will gain you points. Did I forget to mention points? With the points you collect from visiting sites, you can trade in for FotoSpot “swag.” Now that is cool - an app that gives back!

I’m here in CT exploring the state and there are so many amazing waterfalls that are missing from here. I wish there was a way to submit locations.

Makes the long boring road trips a little more interesting!
