Last update KILLED this fantastic apps usability.

What happened? This easy to use and extremely useful app has turned into a mess of confusion and uselessness. What a shame. From 5 stars to 1 overnight.

Its a shame really

This app used to be AMAZING. I used it all the time to fine places near me. Now its user interface and functionality are terrible

Dont like your new version

I used to be able to search by name. I dont even know how it is supposed to work and cant find anything.

Absolute "DUD".......dont waste your time!

Nice app

I really dont know how this app used to be, but now its simple, clean and gave me great suggestions.

Lost??

Sounds like good app but I deleted because I live in florida and could not get it work. All I could get was California , followed the note they give you but did not work.

Agree w/ Cybernettr

This seems more like an aggregate solution for major social apps than a tool for locating local events and gathering spots. You get lucky if someone happens to be at an event you want. Cybernettr, the app I’ve found closest to what we want is called CalendApp. It’s not been updated in over a year but it still works relative to the amount of input it gets. Their Facebook page states something big is coming…but that was announced in Nov 2013! Still, it’s worth a try.

Turbomegapolla

Its a beautifull and impresive app. Great design and very used.

A lot of hard work went into this app

Great app for discovering new places and revisiting old places!!! Great job developers!!!

How useful?

If you do a lot of traveling to unfamiliar cities, this could help you find interesting attractions. Personally, Im looking for summer festivals coming up and I can find nothing about that in this app. The Twitter results just show people tweeting about normal things, not about anything relating to the local area. The interface also needs improvement. The map view can be zoomed but cannot be panned or scrolled. The pushpin view shows a lot of unlabeled pushpins. Tap on one, and the view rotates while it zooms, which looks cute but causes you to lose your place.

Awesome

This is a great app and it caters to those who travel or occasionally leave their comfort zone... This pools together multiple information sources and displays them in one screen. This is a must have app...

Great

Very good awesome

Disappointed

Dont waste your money or time

Simply amazing!

This little app has a simple design, making it a stupid easy to use. I love how you just open it and the app immediately goes to work. This app has become a mainstay on all my iOS devices.

Used to be Great

Was a fantastic application that I used often both locally and on the road. Comparing it to the Yellow Pages was excellent but with the ability to add contact information from your search results or navigate via the IOS map application or tom-tom integration. Now finding places is spotty at best and I rarely use.

Used to be better

I agree with the other reviewer who said it used to be great. For some reason now it hardly pulls up any results and if it does they are not useful. I can literally be next to a Mexican restaurant and search "Mexican restaurant" in Localscope and it wont find it. If thats fixed I would start using it again. When it works its awesome

This App Does Not Work Like It Use To

This app doesnt work like it use to. It is now easier to use any other app to find what youre looking for.

One-stop shop - All map services in one place

A fixture on my home screen and an integral part of my daily routine. Simply put, I practically cannot function without it. I would have given five stars if it were updated more frequently.

Limited search results, intrusive graphics

Only 2 items shown when searching. Requires location services even when app isnt being used. Keeps flooding screen with info from unfamiliar sources even when those have been turned off. Feels intrusive with cluttered graphics.

Update

The app is good but shows really bad on iPhone 6 also will be good an apple watch version.
