All this app does is provide a list of famous places. If you click on one, it brings up a menu to find it on Google or Wikipedia. I don't understand the point, its a waste of time. If I want to find information on these places I have to look it up myself, which is what I would do without this app anyway. I would like to see this app DO something for me.
Clearer and faster satellite images than on google maps. Fun to see specific locations and track the places I've physically visited in the past. It would be even better if the lists had the alphabet beside it so it would be easier to quickly jump down alphabetically (like in iTunes list) instead of the endless scrolling for countries with many popular locations. Thanks!
I enjoy seeing places already flagged by others and the direct link to wikipidia is nice.
I love adding new places I've visited to this app. I've traveled quite a bit but it's humbling to see how many more wonderful places there are to visit!
