Reviews: What People Think About Texas Historical Marker Guide
Bluhmbomber
Rating: 5/5
The historical markers are meant to serve as reminders of the past, but today's generation for the most part are unappreciative of the past. I love to stop at markers every chance I can, but I think most people are desensitized how common they are and they've become invisible to most people.
This app is great and I can't believe it hasn't been available longer. Nothing could serve these markers greater than this app for those who don't have time to stop, want to learn more about the greatest country and state of all time, and/or have wondered about that one marker they've never had time to stop at.
Thanks for creating this app!

Searching marker by geolocation is a boon to the traveler. Easily fining monuments, markers, etc while moving about. Lots of data points and and history. My favorite new app!
Very understandably, not all markers have narratives or the text from the marker. Quickly saw that a good number have “don’t know where this one is” despite having street location in app. How might the app user assist with app database update? Might there be future ability to crowdsource or add photo URLs in info? (Obviously the app would be overwhelmed with inclusion of over 1000 images, but links would be nice added value.)

This is a really great app! Only issue is with location. After first installing it would never show my location. After deleting the app and reinstalling it will show my current location but the “Nearest Markers” option always returns “Cannot find - check that location services is enabled” - which of course it is. Tried toggling between “Always” and “When Using App” but no love.
But I generally use the Geographic Regions mode which works great. And have learned a lot of Texas History! Interestingly when using the map in Geographic Regions mode, the app has no problem showing where I am on the map!
