Latest reviews of Texas Historical Landmarks app for iPhone and iPad
Great for road trips throughout TX. Love reading about the history of small towns. Gives my kids a sense of regional history.
Ever seen those historical markers on the side of the road? Ever stopped? Me either. This app basically allows you to look up what the marker is for. If you stop, it lets you take a picture. Need to add a share on Facebook picture.
You remind all stuff you saw in decades and you start from ground zero for hundreds hundreds more. Version 2 is so much better.
This app is a must-have for Texas History enthusiasts. It gives you access to information about over 14,000 historical landmarks, and for each site you have the option to check into it, take pictures (and store them locally), write comments, and store personal notes. The app even has the ability to let you know when youre close to a landmark—and it works! Its an excellent app that runs flawlessly, does everything it says it will, and is aesthetically pleasing (and ready for iOS 7) to boot. Whats more is that its a treasure-trove of little-known facts about places you never heard of in your Texas History class. This app is money well-spent for any lover of Texas and its exceedingly rich history.
Really enjoy this app. Initially I got it for short weekend trips with my wife and son, but I sometimes even find myself just reading about some historical markers that i hadnt heard of before while sitting at home or in my down time. Also while traveling, the feature that alerts you when youre getting near a marker is neat. Overall, if you like texas history, this is worth a download.
