Comments on On This Spot for Android

★★★★★ L McG · Sep 2, 2019

Amazing idea. This will be even more awesome when VR takes on more of our daily lives. Some cities to suggest are Kingston Ontario, Sandhurst Ontario, Merrillville Ontario, and Smith's Falls Ontario, all 4 have a rich old history, and it's well documented.

★★★★★ Jayne Drew · Sep 1, 2016

Time to go on an adventure! I love apps that get me out exploring. Can't wait to do the tours and see the stops both in person and in the past :)

★★★★★ Ian Crowe · Jul 31, 2020

Love this app so unique. You can be your own tour guide. Super easy to use. I often use it on my commute to work, great to learn on the go and around the world. The app has real potential

★★★★★ Michele Lord · Aug 10, 2016

Love it I love history, and grew up near Vancouver. So cool to see some of the stuff I remember as a kid and things I'd only heard about. Would love to see more Cities added (Calgary?)

★★☆☆☆ andrew paul · Jan 15, 2020

Very cool app, but text descriptions of photos are cut off. When in landscape mode the text is briefly viewable but the photo is refreshed, so it's basically not viewable. Not being able to zoom photos is a big handicap. Search function would be good. Photos disappear in landscape mode. Apps seems buggy in some of its basic viewing functions.

★☆☆☆☆ Ryan Roga · Jul 15, 2020

Mildly interesting for all of about 45 seconds. 👌🏻 It would be a lot better if there was even just a slider you could move left and right to expose the past and present image. Also, the blue bridge in Victoria is not even recent anymore. We have an absurdly expensive new bridge that Helps bought. It kind of defeats the purpose of a past & present photo...

★☆☆☆☆ Robyn Spencer · Nov 22, 2020

I didn't understand 8t.I thought I could take a pic anywhere in the city for a historic pic

★★☆☆☆ Daniel Cooper · Jul 21, 2020

App could use the option to use the slider/fader in landscape full screen mode, so you can actually see the photos better, and it would be more immersive. Would be good to also do AR with the camera to slide/fade over the camera view to allow self exploration not just photos
