I downloaded this app several years ago and have gotten a great deal of enjoyment from it both during yearly Palm Springs stays and at home It offers a wealth of information great photos maps and videos Apple recently sent me a message informing me that it may not be comparable on future operating systems I hope the developers prepare the app for future upgrades                 I love this app and hope it is upgraded Albany subscriber

Once you get to the details it s very interesting However some numbering is off the map isn t interactive the map doesn t show your location relative to points of interest and you have to go through multiple screens from map to details This has potential         Hard to navigate Lunalbus

This app is literally half way done does not work properly and should have never been released There is absolutely no way anyone can use it effectively Crashes non stop does not connect with maps app or work as designed Also many homes featured are on private roads Don t waste your money     Does Not Work ThePhotoPro

Waiting for 2 hours Hoped to take this tour but we will be out of PS by the time this loads Want money back     Won t load Even with fast WIFI Egelby

This is a very informative app about P S Architecture but it should be said that very little of the houses can actually be seen from the street I found it most useful for providing a guide to finding and exploring some of the nicer neighborhoods Made for a pleasant though slightly disappointing afternoon             Better as a coffee table book Greylow

Yes this program does download but it takes a very long time perhaps hours depending on the download speed Once downloaded it is an excellent introduction to the topic even if the program is a little buggy Functionality is good but it would have been nice to be able to go from thumbnail pictures or map location icons directly to the detailed descriptions of the properties We did not use this as a real time tour guide With some planning ahead patience and fast network internet access this might be possible             Purchase before traveling dano26

Giant download but worthwhile for self guided Architectural tour Maps are buggy but otherwise a recommended purchase for PS visitors interested in modernism                 Great self guided app anam3_nyc

Will not load     4 99 for nothing CWT1000

Bought this to do illuminated mid century modern tour at night based on promo material Not only is there no special illuminated tour as advertised but many of the buildings on the tour are inexplicably not reviewed on the app That makes no sense The reviews of the buildings that are covered are pretty good but how they can leave out so many key buildings on Palm Canyon Dr is crazy         No Illuminated Mid Century Tour Been there since rock started

Gigantic app so find a coffee shop with wifi for download App is well designed and has good information on the buildings it features Not a complete MCM survey though Worse the map feature which is critical for an efficient tour doesn t work well in some parts of town We had limited time in town and too much time was spent nursing the app             Squirrels without wifi Sb1rd

This app is amazing Worth the money Download was easy no problem Very informative                     Amazing App CWbaker61

This app is so huge that it takes forever to download Not really of use if you re on the go and can t find a fast wifi connection Purchased it and didn t get to use it before I left Palm Springs     Huge download Robert Shell

Just returned from our first trip to Palm Springs and this app proved invaluable We loved using it in the car and in preparation before we ventured out for neighborhood walks It s easy to navigate and go about finding a home or business from many routes the architect the area names of building etc The map feature is fantastic We went from place to place and never felt frustrated I love the old and new photos as well as the commentary and fun facts about each project I don t usually purchase too many apps but this enhanced our visit so much I wouldn t hesitate                     Don t hesitate get this KatieJane25

A lot of thought has gone in to the creation of this app A great way to learn more about the architecture of Palm Springs                     Great app Caspian III

Amazingly detailed and thought out Does take a bit of time to down load but worth it You need an iPhone with storage size to get all the detailed content                     Great app Modern one

It gets only three stars because it is HORRIBLY unstable Using it with an iPad Mini on wifi or a iPhone 4S on 4G it CONSTANTLY crashes This is made worse by the fact that if you are in the middle of one of the apps tours you have to start all over And as you go forward to try and find your spot it crashes again That being said the content is excellent Just wish it was possible to actually take one of the apps tours to completion             Horribly unstable but content is good mobycat

This Mid Century architecture tour app features 82 sites in Palm Springs My review is based on using the app in the field on a second generation iPad WiFi only no cell running OS 6 1 3 The app divides the 82 properties into 3 geographic sections north south and central Palm Springs Tours can also be viewed by architect 12 architects are featured The app content is superb Along with address map and access information for each site there is audio narration text photos and videos by the following Photographs by Julius Shulman Dan Chavkin and others videography by Adam Duplay Productions text written by educator architectural preservation advocate and tour guide Robert Imber check out Palm Springs Modern Tour on Yelp and audio narration by architecture historian and author Peter Moruzzi Several other user reviews note long download times for this 994 MB file Download time for me was 20 minutes at a speed of 15 17 Mbps via DSL to an Apple Airport Base Station to a late 2006 iMac The app installation onto my iPad took less than 2 minutes Upon opening the app for the first time there was a brief update that took less than a minute Other user reviews complain about the app crashing I have experienced occasional crashing particularly when using the arrow buttons located in the upper right hand corner of the screen This seems to happen when trying to advance quickly through a long series of screens I have found that using the Property List button located in the upper left hand of each tour screen minimizes the crashing I have no affiliation with anyone associated with the production of this app I am an architect who loves mid century design and have enjoyed using this app and look forward to using it again on my next visit to Palm Springs 5 stars for content and UI 3 stars for stability 4 stars overall Highly recommended                 Excellent Content dcjakel

Yes it took almost two hours to download to my PC but sync d no problem Opened on my iPhone 4S asked if I wanted to do the update 1mg said yes took less than 20 seconds and has worked perfectly Be patient people Well worth the time effort                     No problems here Desert Dog Jagger

Not sure why there seem to be such varying levels of success with this app It crashes when asked to do the simplest task for me Pretty much unusable Too bad Seems like a good design Wanted the info A waste of good money though     Too Bad PaulPad

After downloading stuck on please wait while updating     Didn t work Splendid56

Doesn t work at all Never leaves the loading page     So wish it worked R_stars

Same experience as everyone else Took hours to load and never worked Just says looking for updates and never moves from that screen Totally disappointing And then we had to buy the map from the visitors center which had no info at all on it except the addresses Don t sell something that doesn t work     Don t waste your money Szp1

Spent days following the tours We loved every mile of it Very well done Lots of fun We are on the road in a MH so it took awhile to download via iPhone hotspot but it was worth the trouble                     Palm Springs Modernism Tour Larry & Sharon

Not only it s 1Go but also it doesn t work At all Good luck     Doesn t work digeratiii

I took a chance despite the poor reviews that this would be fixed since Modernism week is only 2 weeks away WRONG I downloaded it the first day and in 3 days it has never worked Same as the others where the screen says waiting for updates after it took 2 hours to load onto my computer at the Ace where the wifi is fine Go to the visitors center and get the 5 map They should never have released this without testing it     Get the 5 Paper one cmw887

Just as you begin to enjoy the app it crashes It is impossible to get through a whole tour Save your money and buy a book     Frustrating Dallas boy 1988

I have yet to get in to the app It only says wait while we check for updates and never moves from that screen     Checking for updates cjatchley

I was excited to try it downloading to my computer and then to my phone took about 90 minutes for each Once on the phone it says please wait while we check for updates it has said that for over an hour     PS Modern disappointed in PS
