    This app has never worked for me. Requests for support go completely unanswered. I am sorry I bought it.

    This is a very cool app for visitors and also locals, featuring Boston locations as well as many in the greater Boston area. You can search by architect, by neighborhood, etc. Lots of great content. One thing to be aware of: at present, you must have location services turned on when using the app. If you set to “never,” you can’t see any of the content. Definitely worth paying for.
  • My new favorite app!

    I love how I'm alerted to interesting buildings as I approach. Who knew there were so many amazing stories right in Harvard Square or the South End?! A great app for travelers and long-time residents alike!

    This guide provides multiple ways to experience Boston's architecture---choose categories like architect, neighborhood, style, BSA award winners, and more. I love that i can choose to have the app alert me when I'm near a building of interest.

    My husband and I just tried it on Comm Ave and found out that what seemed to be a very bland building was really very interesting. We walk all over Boston and look forward to more discoveries! DDjane

    This app gives tons of content - where ever you find yourself in Boston, there's a something new to see and to learn. One forgets how many beautiful buildings we have in Boston.

    This is a fun guide! Enjoy building gawking at a whole new level. Fills you in on the impressive, the beautiful, the interesting and the funky buildings and places that you encounter as you bop around the city. Wonder no longer as you wander.
