What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Very good useful app but I'd like the option to mark places visited."
Geoff Oliver
"This is awesome I am creating a YouTube history channel about the blue plaques and this help me locate them early amazing"

"Guys, you're killing us. You have a very good app here but just one small thing would make all the difference in the world. Allow the app to have a function where we can turn a blue dot red for plaques we have already seen and the app saves that information permanently. It would make life so much easier for anyone interested in seeing them all."

"Seems to be broken at the moment. I've granted location permissions but it says they've not been granted and won't allow me to view the map. Also why can't I view the map without location permissions anyway??"
Matthew Baker
"Search for "Lenin" in app shows no results though there are two blue plaques for Vladimir I. Lenin in different neighborhoods in London. Search for "Gandhi" correctly returns the two plaques associated with Mohandas K. Gandhi. I want this to work."
Shekhar Krishnan
"Very useful and informative"
Philip Howley
"really clear and easy to use. one thing I think would be a great addition to the app is the ability to tick off plaques that we've seen. Otherwise it's great!"
andy macdougall
"The database doesn't include similar local plaques, for example, the Jim Marshall plaque in Ealing. It doesn't contain further information about the person. The app also requires internet connection to use the maps. It uses a lot of memory, but saving onto an external drive, i.e. a microSD card is not enabled. I will be uninstalling this app."
