Atlas Obscura Travel Guide Reviews

I received your response. I cannot get past the screen that states: “Allow access to your location to explore places near you. Continue” It’s not just your wording, AtlasObscuraTravelGuide cannot be used without location services on

Edit April 12th:
I contacted support about the sync issues like they said in their reply to my original review, but trench support never replied, and the issue wasn’t fixed in the most recent update.

Right now, it doesn’t look like there’s a way for the “places I’ve been” and “places I want to go” lists haven’t synced from the website to AtlasObscuraTravelGuide .

AtlasObscuraTravelGuide is great if you have a full battery, but something about it absolutely decimates my phone. I’ll go from 50% down to 40% after a few minutes of setting up a list and navigating the map is even worse. I don’t have this issue with any other app so I hope the devs try something to implement a low power mode, which AtlasObscuraTravelGuide definitely needs.

I’ve been pestering AO for years about developing an App, countless emails and DMs, and finally here we are… what a glistening, shimmering, hunk of gold buried in the mud and soil of the last year and a half! Now, here comes the honesty; this review is coming at you live after mere minutes of smashing that blue “get” button, and instantly I knew THIS is AtlasObscuraTravelGuide I’ve been asking for. This steps up AOs game to new levels. This is an instant five star review!

So happy they finally have an app. I’m excited to keep checking out what places are near, me wherever I go. Links up to my Atlas Obscura account without a problem.

I just downloaded, haven’t even opened yet. This is an app for everyone that wants to see more. So this is an app for everyone. Get it.

So much easier to plot out my travels with a gps map instead of googling cities and writing down results!

I just used AtlasObscuraTravelGuide to discover a cool rock quarry in the mountains in Vermont that I’m going to check out when I’m there next weekend. There’s such a wealth of hidden gems in here!

Love how easy it is to find places and make lists! Have been using this in my own neighborhood but excited to try it on my next out-of-town-trip.

Long time AO user here. It’s taken me to some of the strangest, coolest, and quirkiest places in existence over the years. And now, moments after receiving an email, I AM USING AtlasObscuraTravelGuide .

I love you Atlas Obscura, stay weird.

Loving the Atlas Obscura app! It’s a great way to find interesting places to visit while traveling or around where you live. Also fun to just pick a random part of the world and see what you find.

Just started using AtlasObscuraTravelGuide but I love the layout and functions! The map is great and I really like that it marks your visited places with a flag. Very user friendly and fun to use. Excited to use AtlasObscuraTravelGuide next time I explore a new city!!!

I’ve been using Atlas Obscura’s database to find unique places for years! It is so nice to be able to carry it with me wherever I go in this convenient and easy to use app. Can’t wait to start marking off all the places I will visit.

I have been following the website and DYING for them to make an app for YEARS! It seems like they took the time and effort to make it everything it should be! It is so user friendly and so well done!

I am so so happy this came out! ❤️

A great app for traveling to new places. On a work trip and was able to take an afternoon off and visit some really cool places that aren’t just the regular tourist traps. Love the ability to save places, so that when I do go to those locations, I always have places to visit.
