Findery, where every place has a story. App Reviews

Seems like this was tailor made to be an iphone app since the beginning.

now I have a place to leave all of my intricate notes on new york city ! a day later: deleted account, its a boring app and also it takes location readings and displays them on the map visible to everyone with no privacy setting

Great concept and content!

Ok, here is the only conceivable future for this app. All pinpoints need to be sorted into either "public" or "private". Allow users to vote a pinpoint to "private" and out of the public domain. Allow me to see "private" pinpoints for contacts who allow me to. Otherwise this is just going to be a mess. I dont need to know the exact location where 300,000 random people went on their first date.

New graphic design but boring content with no privacy

Just more NSA why dont you follow me wherever I go fodder. Think twice about who knows wherever you go. Someday we will pay a lot for the apps that hide us from Big Brother.

A great real-world adventure-finder and conversation starter! Adding notes I like to Notemaps has been a great way to keep track of places I want to go someday.

I am downloading this app with great excitement at the thought of seeing unique and yet everyday snaps of life from around the world! I will add to it myself from my adopted hometown and as I travel (mostly the USA). This can become our shared picturesque "Time-Life coffee table" book on our phones and tablets!

While I think this is an awesome idea, I cannot access the app from my Home screen. The icon looks like its waiting to update, but its been looking like that for a few weeks. I will try to remove it from my phone with iTunes and reload to see if that will stop this from happening.

Love the new ui. Its a lot easier to find stuff and more user friendly. One suggestion would love to see a tab or something close to it of the notes we follow instead of having to search by person. Any who just a thought. Thanks dev

As I used the app, traveling not only to foreign countries, but also to the next town over, I found hidden histories, and stories I would not otherwise have known. There can be no doubt I have a strong bias, but I am still astonished at how many contributors have come and made this a bazaar of infinite discovery.

It is just too messy to go through all of the notes that is available. And I dont care if this is the furthest you have been from your home country. There are just way too many people posting frivolous notes.

Seems like it could be a cool service but there is no spam flagging or they are already monetizing too hard. All local tips are either useless tweets or ads for home repair and landscaping companies. Deleted.

Some interesting info but this app needs some user interface improvements. For example, a "back" button would be first on the list so that after you read an entry you can go back to your search results. Pretty basic but sorely needed.

Findery is a cool app in that it isnt one size fits all. People use it for many different things, like leaving historical notes for family members or documenting a trip or making an old city come alive with cool facts and ideas about places to go. This new update is awesome. The near far thing is cool. Now I just have to start my project: documenting all the places Ive been! Great job on the new look and functionality!!

Love the new update. Its so much easier to find and discover new notes. Thanks dev.

This app is great for tourists wanting to take a page out of another travelers book, but is just about useless for locals. The first 3 "found" spots, were a well-known local restaurant, a graffiti wall (I live in Austin, it would be more impressive to find a wall that doesnt have graffiti art on it) and the 20 mile park running through the city.. It took about 5 minutes to find something that I didnt know was here, or that was worth clicking on, and it ended up being a fun tourist activity an hour and a half from where I live. I will say, this issue isnt due to the makers of the app, and the app itself is fairly easy to navigate, but there needs to be some separation from the tourists visiting and ranting about places youve been to 100 times, and locals that found random cool stuff thats unknown to most.

This was an app for shops to put up their ad. Uninstalling.

This app allows you to add notes to physical places. People have added notes about historical events at locations around you, intimate details of their lives that happened around you, and everything in between. You can use this to keep track of places you want to visit or places youve been, turn people on to cool things around you, all sorts of neat things.

Tried this app to find cool things on vacation in Hawaii, but you click near by and it always says cant find your location. Been trying for 2 hours killed my battery turning on and off location services, uninstalled reinstalled app, restarted iphone... I have an iPhone 6 plus.
