Nice work, very slick!

1. I couldn't figure out how to like a place

2. I was sort of expecting a bit more information when I clicked on a place. I mean this particularly with respect to the attractions section. I was hoping for more information on the attractions, like the ability click on it and learn more.

Yeah, the ability to click on attractions and view more information about them is coming in a later version of the app. That's something that I want too.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Well done. I'm using the Flickr API myself for photo annotations - be careful to honor the licensing of those images. Quite a few are copyrighted, e.g. those in the Josha Tree section. Linking back is not enough, explicit permission is requried. Example: https://www.flickr.com/photos/circleyq/8676353185/

You're right. I'm only using Creative Commons photos, and I include attribution inside the detail pages.

To be precise: The example was taken out of your app, I followed the link and pasted it above, so not only CC is in use.

I got stuck on a weird screen that said No definition found with no buttons to get back to the app. Interface is nice but app feels too sales-y and light on content.

I agree that it feels light in content -- while the list of destinations is extensive, each description only scratches the surface. Then what?
