On a serious note, I've just had a look at my hometown on it, the local municipal park is listed which definitely isn't abandoned and the other two things were demo'd 5-10+ years ago.

These apps pop up all the time, it won't last long, just an encyclopaedia of soggy/ smashed up derps.

having a map that tells you all the spots is only gonna help kids and pikies get to them easier, part of exploring is finding the spots yourself, and not necessarily gatekeeping them, but just keeping it on the lowdown. Having the spots just on a free map will only draw unnecessary attention to these spots.

Seems like complete bollocks, seems like another AI thing where it just automatically creates entries for anything that looks a bit rough. Majority of them don't even make sense, wtaf is this

A couple of hundred thousand installs. Around since at least 2019 so hardly new!

Catering for a particular kind of market and I can't imagine any 'real' 'urban explorer' even considering downloading it.

Needs to be sent to the British Bulls1t Company/Daily Fail etc. so it can get some real traction and advance the 'scene' and interest more 'teams'.

On the other hand perhaps it was just someones idea of a way to document photo locations rather than places to dump litter.

So it lists a building in the old bomb area but somehow misses the large fort 😂😂😂
