Huge download. 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.

Doesn't work.. Not only it's >1Go, but also, it doesn't work. At all. Good luck...

Won’t download. Apple will not refund.. Do not purchase!

Frustrating. 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.

Worth the $5. I was a little dubious given some of the reviews, and it wasn’t perfectly seamless, but after the first view sites we got into a rhythm of toggling back and forth between mapping and sites. When tour buses are safe again, that may be a better option, as we couldn’t see over some gates from our car. But $5 was a great price for a 90-minute, air conditioned, family activity with art, history, culture, geology, and navigation. And that was only one tour, there’s still two more we can do!

Just use Google. You could easily google/wiki “modern sites in Palm Springs” and find the places listed here plus more info about all of them. I thought more houses would be included but it’s lots of airport/city hall/library type buildings and several of the houses were just barely viewable from the street.

Very Helpful. My family just used this - it downloaded in a few seconds - there’s tons of information. It’s great. No technical difficulties whatsoever. We drove around and used the audio function so it was like we were at a museum. Highly recommend for a day trip. Only problem is that many of the most famous houses are hidden. If the app could link to tours of homes that might be helpful.

It could have been so much better!. I bought this to take a self-guided tour of modernist homes in Palm Springs. The information, photos, and recorded narratives were great. Unfortunately, there are some serious shortcomings that made the app difficult to use for navigation. The driving directions, when used through the app, cause the GPS sound not to work, so it requires a person to navigate in addition to the driver. I set up a Favorites Tour, which seemed like a great idea, but although the app asked for location tracking, it didn’t use that information to put the tour in a sequence that made sense for my current location. As far as apps go, this one was expensive and I expected better performance.

Out of Date. Goes to many boring condo buildings. Biggest issue is many streets have become security gated, so you can’t get to the sites being described. A waste of money and time.

No Illuminated Mid-Century Tour. 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.

Doesn't work as advertised.. This app doesn't seem to load fully. My phone had 40Gb free but it had only partial descriptions when looking at the home descriptions. It would not pair properly with Bluetooth, so it didn't narrate through the car and caused problems with the GPS on the car. I had to switch between the audio being played on the phone and then stop it to use the GPS. I would have liked to hear the audio on the way to the house, but this didn't work as advertised. One of the house's audio description did play through the Bluetooth but I have no clue as to why that one worked and none of the others did before and after that one. Interesting app but very frustrating. Overpriced for all the technical problems that kept it from working as advertised.

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

Family sharing not functioning. Purchased this and looked forward to driving around and looking at architecture with my wife. However although family sharing is set up for our phones, we would have had to pay again for it to be downloaded to my wife’s phone. Therefore called Apple to get refund

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

Excellent and informative. This app is great Do much fun and do much great information I would highly recommend for all Architectural enthusiasts and anyone just curious about Palm Springs !!

Too Bad. 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.

New Version Coming.... A new verions will ebbe released by Aug 17th 2018 for the new IOS ver 11 release - will be compatible for all IOS version, including older.

Packed with Info!. As a Coachella Valley resident and avid historian, I have found the information in this app extremely useful. The factual addresses, photos and details about significant modern architecture in Palm Springs is invaluable. Many thanks to Palm Springs Modern Committee for this educational and fun app.

Does Not Work. 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.

Palm Springs Modern: Mid-Century Architecture Tours. So easy to use! Very well organized and visually excellent. Narrator's voice is pleasing and the video sections enliven perfectly the new and old still photography. The wealth of information is beyond what I expected - great detail and wonderful tales of the history of these properties. You really can tour with this app. Great accessory to a Palm Springs visit.

Don't waste your money!!!. 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!!!

So wish it worked!!. Doesn't work at all. Never leaves the loading page. :-(

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

Get the $5 Paper one. 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.

Worthless. Don't buy this. This App is worthless because the numbers don't accurately correspond. Seems like an update was made but only half-way completed. The information on the locations is good - but the problem is you get the wrong information when you arrive to a location. A complete waste.

Don't hesitate, get this.. 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.

Waste of 4.99. Navigation feature doesn’t work in app and won’t transfer to maps. You have to copy and paste each individual address. Basically I bought this so I wouldn’t have to build a custom route…. And I ended up doing it anyway. This app led to more fights and close call traffic accidents then it’s worth. Also SUPER irritated that on several of the houses the info cuts off mid sentence, what’s up with that? It is also supposed to tell you the best way to see the houses, this is especially important for the ones up the canyon. But all you see is driveways, fences or gates. Why are those houses included?

Great app. 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.

Disappointing. Poor design, not user friendly. Always an advertisement when using even though it’s a pay app. Needs professional help.

Very sloppy app. Most of the written descriptions are cut off in mid-sentence, proving that nobody bothered to read the text. Several of the videos refused to load, and they mostly repeat the same descriptions that appear as text. Very disappointing!

nightmare, waste of time and computer space. a huge, huge file that never completely downloads (and yes I have high speed connections and available space) I just wasted so much of my day trying to get this to work, it doesn't, it won't .....be prepared for massive frustration if you buy

Horribly unstable, but content is good. 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.

Does not download. As other reviewers said, just doesn’t work! Don’t do it!

Squirrels without wifi. 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.

Good app, but takes FOREVER to load. Make sure you have 45 min to load and open this app, takes forever to do both.

I love this app and hope it is upgraded. 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.

It got better!. Opened up app on a whim and voila! Finally up and running and as good as I expected!

Hard to navigate. 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.

Great app!. 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.

Didn't work.. After downloading, stuck on 'please wait while updating'.

Needs Correcting.... So far I’ve only looked at 10% to 20% of all the sites listed, but I’ve found several errors. The structure of the app and the quality of the photos is very good, but the overall impression due to the errors is not. Errors include mismatches between site names and the associated photos and incorrect naming of an architect. I expected MUCH better.

4.99 for nothing. Will not load!!

Palm Springs Modernism Tour. 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.

PS Modern. 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.

No problems here. 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.

Better as a coffee table book?. 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.

Won't load! Even with fast WIFI. Waiting for 2 hours. Hoped to take this tour but we will be out of PS by the time this loads. Want money back!

Purchase before traveling. 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.

Essential guide to Palm Springs Mid-Mod treasures! Way COOL.. Palm Springs' amazing cache of mid-century modern architecture is all here in this essential guide. My friends and I were able to access all of the city's most important architecture in the span of a weekend--and we didn't miss anything. The driving tours are chock full of content, with informative commentary from expert historians, high quality photos and video, and insider stories directly from the architects who created their modern masterpieces in the Southern California desert. Do be patient with the download. it's well worth the wait.

Palm Springs Modern Tour. Latest version is fast, stable and works great. Early issues have long been resolved.

Not worth the money and honestly useless. I bought this app on the premise that I could use it to tour the residences. However, I found on arrival to the main roads, I was not allowed to enter the roads the properties were on since they were private roads. Other issues: - Barely any movie star properties listed. - the app says videos - of four properties I wanted to look at only 1 had a video and that was less than 1:30mins! - not enough photos. Each property only seems to have 4 photos. I thought for the size of the app and the price paid there would be way more than 4. - when doing the tours, when you select a house it should allow you to press the directions link which should in turn allow you to choose to get directions... It doesn't - much shorter list of known residences than I expected e.g. searching could not find Elvis or Bing Crosby... - when running the tours mode small thumbnails of houses are shown. However you cannot select these to go to the residence detail. The only way to do it is to select start tour...

Simple yet helpful. A simple app but handy in finding exact locations of architecturally significant buildings.

Great accompaniment to Palm Springs. Palm Springs is the Mecca for mid century modernism and this app is a great accompaniment to your tour of Palm Springs. Use it as a reference when you’re driving/cycling/walking about town or just to plan your visit in advance. There’s an architectural gem around every corner and this will help you identify their provenance and story. Please remember that many of these historic homes are owned privately and respect their privacy. Admire from a distance but don’t peer in windows.

It's good... conceptually.. I was really excited when I picked up the brochure for this tour and saw there was an app -- it seemed the app would provide a tour of these amazing buildings, but in reality, it just shows the locations and detail. There is no route, it's up to you to connect the dots. Each stop is numbered, and each features a great write-up with a recorded description (loved that part), but the audio stops when it's backgrounded! My wife was navigating and had to continuously copy the address into Google maps because this app only supports exporting each address into Apple Maps, which for whatever reason was not providing turn-by-turn directions. One other gripe is that a couple of the locations are on private roads / driveways. While it would be great to see them, I'm not up for trespassing. Overall, this app has great potential, but it seems half-baked, and if it weren't for the decent photos and audio, I wouldn't say it was worth the $5 ($7CAD). Either way, I'm sure the developers can find a way to trim it down from the 1GB size.

Nice try, but.... So much great information, but poorly executed. Can not zoom into pics, ⭐️’g faves neither makes them present differently on the map nor filters out others on the tour. In other words. - what’s the point of the useless code? Also, truncated paragraphs with no way to expand them. Grrr. All the trappings of a FREE app, not a $5 one. 👎🏽

Crashes non Stop. Not only does the app not use your GPS to “guide” you, it crashes constantly when you click on the images. You have to click the images since most of the houses have walls or gates so you cant even see them. Go to youtube and view the houses from your house to see them better.

Excellent Content. 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.
