Loved this app so much when it worked. Please try and fix it again I'd you can!
Doesn't work
Shite
Like others I should have read the reviews before updating. Now it longer finds playgrounds near me. So frustrating!! It used to be good.
I should have read the previous reviews. The app did not work. Tried finding playgrounds near me and searched via location. Just timed out. Feeling disappointed.
Excellent idea but the maps need to be updated much more frequently.
Doesn't load up nearby playgrounds. No requests for location... Obviously something is not right with the app. Website works better.
Read the reviews, apparently since last update it will not connect. The website is great.
Should have read the previous reviews!
Opens but can't load map
Doesn't find any parks
Nothing loaded
Should have read below. It's useless
Keep crashing
Doesn't work on HTC one
Very limited. No advanced search and map points have no extra info. Tedious to look up each one to check for toddler friendliness or whatever. Really needs proper detail on map point popups and an advanced search with filter ("has fenced area", "not near open water" etc) to be very useful. Map icons would help too. Data set also quite incomplete in Perth, missing some major places, would add but for above issues.
Whenever in a new area use this to find a place for my little one to play.
Only shows a few parks & crashes when you try to add new ones
Good app
This is a good app for kids and parants
Love it
Doesn't work on HTC one
Perfect
Very Good effort to create a directory with pictures and everything , Obviously as a startup the database needs more work but the functionality of the app is excellent. worth trying out to see if your area has good coverage, there's reasonable coverage in mine...
I can only speak from a South Australian POV, but there are very few of our playgrounds actually on here. Some are also misnamed. An SA specific App called Parkplay is soooooooo much more comprehensive than this. I wouldn't waste your time if you are from SA.
So excited to have this great resource available in an easy to use app format.
There is no option to search near an address or suburb, it only goes off your current location. Useless for planning to meet friends. Can't search by ratings/ages/facilities, so it's not very useful as you have to click in each park to read the reviews or see the rating. Can't add a park.
