It could be so much more

I would like it to include sites to see. I paid for this app, so I dont want storage places and other businesses to show up.

Out of US

Since we are in Germany I am surprised I can find information on the local areas.

English lessons

I love this App that help me to read my English. Also its great to learn more and more about our planet. Thanks!

Disappointed!!

I just paid $4.99 for this app and instead of finding Museums in our area I am getting storage companies, pet stores, etc. I could get this with free Mapquest!! Not what I thought it would be!! :-(

Not worth $.99

Only I paid 4.99. It is just Wikipedia content I could find on my own. A real disappointment.

Mr

Not worth the money! I believe I got rip off on this app.

No different than free version

Informative but very mechanical "Stephen Hawking" voice. Cant see any difference between free version & $3.99 version.

Tourist

Excellent, of course.

Great near and far

Great app for hands free discovery. Use it extensively when traveling near and far. Also great for our local neighborhood. Finding out more about local spots and eclectic shops.

Great update

Love the new features, especially the way to include/exclude publishers and the map interface the lets you recenter and search different areas. Keep up the great work!

The review ( just trying it out)

Refreshing to have a sound-related app not centered on music. Lots of other audio content out there (Im a storyteller).

Awesome update!

Had the older version but this new version rocks! Easy hands free sightseeing with Facebook posting capability??!!....um, yes please! Now I can hear about whats around me and clue my friends in on some hot spots to visit. Also, totally dig the new map, and the publisher controls...keep up the great work!

Great app and great content

Great app with a very powerful platform. It will only get better as more people add content.

Great app - just upgraded

Just upgraded from free version. Now I can turn on and off different content sources and explore the world... With hearplanet.

Big improvement!

This new version is a lot better than the last!

Fabulous for road trips...

Weve enjoyed HearPlanet since it first came out, and still use it regularly. It is particularly great on road trips - we can play the audio through the car speakers to learn about the area we are driving through without taking our eyes of the road. A fabulous app overall - though I wish it was Universal and supported the iPad natively!

Downright useful

Super useful for getting connected to your local scene, local history and local services. I like how they chunk down the information. Two examples: I sat with my son for an hour just hearing about all the places within 2 miles of our house. Fascinating for both of us. I had friends in town and we drove through and walked around different parts of Marin. I did a little research beforehand on HP and used it on our tour. Made it more interesting for everyone and I looked like I was smart and engaging ;-). Good stuff.

Still the Best!

I am a long-time user of this app. It is fantastic. With the updates, it keeps getting better and better. It is extremely informative and the info is always up To date. The only wish I have for the app is adding the ability to enlarge the tiny thumbnail photos. Id love to click on them and view it full screen.

Great App for families

Great way to entertain the kids and the whole family on our trips. I love the new offline feature. Been waiting for this.

Great discovery tool--hands free!

Im finding interesting places right my hood that I never knew! Love to listen to it while walking around SF. Good for taking quick look at whats in other cities too. Love the postcard feature and FB sharing. If they can mix in some music that b awesome!
