I have to say, it's really difficult to search for London. I got a ton of results from various boroughs from London, I got some London from Arkansas, I never got London proper.

If I type "london" and hit return, I end up on the unfiltered "Latest" page.



That seems something happening in quite some other apps, missing the obvious thing that when I as a tourist search for "London" I definitely don't care/don't know about Brixton, Leyton or Thingamajig. I'd be looking for the Big Ben and the Tower and other such tourist traps. If I wanted some hidden treasure in Crystal Palace then I'd have searched for that.


Thanks for pointing that out, I know it's very clunky to use at the moment. It's something I'm looking to fix in my next update.


Same for Budapest. One Budapest would be fine.


Came here to post exactly this. I searched for Barcelona, and the most widely known Barcelona was 6th in the list: https://i.postimg.cc/tJyLvCbk/Screenshot-2024-03-28-at-5-19-...

Not a huge deal, but some type of weighting like what maps and flight search apps have might be a good addition.


Thanks for the feedback! I agree, I need to do a lot better with search
