Not bad, but...
I see History Pointer was updated several weeks ago; however, they left out one thing: ability to link to Wikipedia to actually read some info about the places! I can scroll (not easily) around the map to find places nearby. I can click on the pin and see a map view, but that’s it. I would say it’s still not worth paying anything for (got it for free) in this stage. Developers: nice try but please let us click on the “i” and go straight to the Wiki article.
Reitveld,
Okay
- Things will appear on the map, and will disappear if you zoom in. They will not reappear when you zoom back out.
- There doesn’t seem to be a great deal of information regarding a historic site.

No issues here
I haven’t had a single issue others have mentioned. Yes, there’s information from Wikipedia for many of here sites but that gives you some quick, basic information. Overhead photo is the default, yet easy to switch to Google or Apple maps, Google street view, etc. Great app to find places to visit on a trip or hidden gems in your hometown!

Junk app - move on
App installed and booted fine. Seems to work as intended. However, the information it provides is complete nonsense. Where and how it gets the data is a mystery. Apparently there’s an historic petroleum filling station on my property in Washington state. When I click on it, it shows my info for something in Ohio. None of the known historic state historic sights seem to be showing up, either. So, of the whole point of the app is to make a database easy to use, better make sure the app uses the database correctly!
Better off just using any map app and searching for historic spots in the area.

johnly,
Works fine for me.
Quick response. Finds sites of interest I hadn't known. Detailed information includes a street map pinpointing the location and a paragraph or so of site's significance. Nice app. Thanks.

Terrible update
This new version is so difficult to use. Attempting to find something on the map is nearly impossible. Please go back to the way it was. I would have given a 5 star rating on the earlier version. This version is useless.
Gaylerupert,
Dumb!
Absolutely worthless. There is no information on any site! Don’t even waste your time getting this. HORRIBLE!!!
RickyMaveety,
Not that great
For one thing, several of the names of historic sites are wrong, and then their locations are so far off it beggars belief.

I now know why it was free. A very big disappointment. Don’t waste your time with download.

Waste of money
I spent $5 on this app yesterday. I can open it, but nothing happens when I click the location button or do a search. I've let it sit for several minutes thinking maybe it's just slow, but nothing comes up. When I followed the app support button, it went to a page with links to the creator's other apps but there wasn't anything for this one. Don't buy this app until they fix the bugs!!
