I Love NY Official Travel App Reviews

What a disappointment. I was so excited to find ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp only to discover it is a disgrace. The content is hollow - basically a table of contents for regions - with no content. What is the use of listing a small description of a region with no links to any details about the region (I.e. restaurants, hotels, history, etc.). It’s like a book with a table of contents and no story. And, I don’t believe the site’s functionality even works either. I did a search for Things To Do and 4 results showed up. I clicked a specific category, did a new search and the same 4 results appeared. Sorry, that is broken. Simply horrible. What a shame too, because it does not take a brain surgeon to simply populate the site with content from the 50+ brochures you could get from a Rest Area along the Thruway. Oh, and by the way, now that I am trying to post this comment, I am going through Hell trying to find a “nickname” that isn’t taken so it will process. Ridiculous!!!!

I would like to give this a good rating but I can’t even open ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp ! I have an iPad mini 3 (it’s about 3 years old) and everything else seems to work very well. When I tap ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp it brings up a white page that says I ❤️ NY and then brings me back to my home page. I really hope this can be fixed.

As others who wrote reviews, I have had ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp for a while now and the idea of finding things to do by location or date is awesome, but... the first versions had switched links ( click on events and you went to food, for instance). Now if you select an item to view off of the main menu, you have to close ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp , shut it down and reload it to get back to the main menu. There’s NO back button. Was this written by high school students?

So, here we are on I-86 in Allegany County. I want to look up something in Angelica, NY. But ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp tells me I’m either offline or out of state. I know I’m in NY (or is it really just a state of mind?) and I’ve got a full LTE signal. Check cellular data: on. Check location: on. Turn phone off, turn phone on. Still won’t work. ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp is as useless as it was when I first left a review 3 years ago. It worked for a time, but maybe that was a fluke.

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered an app as dysfunctional as this one. A search of Cooperstown New York attractions brings up a batting cage, but not the Fenimore Art Museum the Baseball Hall of Fame or the Farmer’s Museum… Is that not amazing? Ditto hotels. Absent are the top ten hotels in the area in a lodging search. ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp is so bad I’m not wasting anymore time even writing about it. One star is the default least rating permissible but I would give it no stars if I could.

Can’t sort ny region - event listings are sparse - I liked the feature at the rest area where I can select vineyards by region and email list to myself but never received
Seems more like an ad app but poor search engine -
Someone needs to do a hard look with a gov a group of ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp - NY should do better

Had ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp for a few years hoping someone might really get it running to its full potential. Just updated ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp on my iPad two days ago but, when I tap on an attraction then try to go back to the previous screen, there is no way to do that. Despite the claims on ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp Store page where it says “works with this iPad.” On my phone (an iPhone) there is a little “back” arrow in the top left corner. On the iPad...nothing. So I have to close and reopen ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp every time I want to go back or search a different attraction. Also, it needs some help with locations. I tried to search the Catskills and it only let me search within NYC. If you’re going to have celebrities such as Bobby D promoting your product, at least save yourself and him the embarrassment and be sure that it’s up to snuff.

What happened to the fall foliage section? It used to be front and center, especially in the fall. Now, I don’t see it anywhere.

Needs to be updated more often or on a regular basis, many places like restaurants have closed, changed and are still listed as places to go / visit. Overall I think it just need to be updated.

I am 10miles away from Waktins Glen State Park yet it does not even appear in ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp . Trying to understand why some info is included and others not. If it is a State Park it should be in there...

ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp is simple enough - however even after enabling location services, selecting on a Region brings up a heart icon, and ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp closes/shuts down. Is this an open source app?

So love ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp but wish u could heart the thing u love and just stamp places u have been to. Or give a chance to rate them out of 5 stars.

ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp does not list the Thruway travel plazas and what is at them. That information is only found on the Thruway website.

I click on some locations such as a farm and it has the location in the middle of the ocean.

I wish ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp had an option to check off the places you’ve been to and to make a notes about your visit.

There doesn’t seem to be anything with dates in 2019 on here - is the information not updated?

I’ve used ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp before and I loved it. But it’s crashing every time I open a page.

I downloaded this a few weeks ago and it's great. Easy to use, and I am constantly finding new things to do that I never would have known about.

I live in New York and this still helps me plan my trips and discover local attractions!

I have been using ILoveNYOfficialTravelApp to plan my weekend trips from NYC, I love the discover NY functionality as well!
