Clean.
I'll give it five stars even though I've not used it yet. If it's as good as the web site, then I'm in for a treat, as I've used the Web site for years. Just wish I had this app back in May when I spent 7 weeks around Europe looking at war relics. Keep up the brilliant work 😁
Nuttige app met overzicht van de herdenkingspunten in de omgeving. je ziet van elk punt een bondige omschrijving waarom het belangrijk is. Als je dan kiest om ernaar toe te gaan dan ontvang je duidelijke routeaanwijzingen
Geweldige app/site voor mensen zoals ik die het super gaaf vinden om dingen te bezichtigen van de oorlog. De app laad bij mij alleen geen plaatjes en er zijn veel bunkers die super bekend zijn en ik me niet voor kan stellen dat die niet op deze kaart staan, maar toch staan ze er niet op.
Keep getting 'failed to load sights' even with internet and GPS on. Not sure what to do about it, already cleared cache. Edit: it's fixed now, awesome app!
