Please let me add to lists whilst using the 'near me' feature. Feels pointless letting me create lists but not being able to add places while using the near me feature.

Pretty, but without a reliable 'near me' (it worked once in a dozen attempts, including no luck after reinstall or removing and adding location position - Galaxy Note 9, fully updated). Also the find by region really needs a map, I've no clue what is included where, but I mostly know where I am. Had to rely on Google maps zooming in looking for HS icons. Not great.

Completely out of date and has false information. For example, I wanted to visit Craignethan Castle and it said to get the Mckindless number 31 bus however that company folded 8 years ago! There is no public transport now to that castle. I discovered that within a few minutes: why didn't their researcher??

Plenty of useful information. But does not connect to location to show nearby properties. Contract with developer is via HS main site or this review! I have not received the email with remedial instructions mentionned in the response to my earlier review..

Has a good amount of info on all the properties available. Can't get the "near me function" to work though. I turn location on on my phone but the app just keeps searching for my location and never finds it.

No autorotate. Only one pic per location. Map opens in landscape in a fixed portrait window! No member area to 'keep'. Membership card. Some locations have no pictures just a kiddie video!
