Palm Springs Modernism Tour

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!

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?

Poor design, not user friendly. Always an advertisement when using even though it’s a pay app. Needs professional help.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Latest version is fast, stable and works great. Early issues have long been resolved.
