Introduction

If you’re visiting Palm Springs, California this year and happen to have an interest in architecture then you’ll definitely want to download this very cool app onto your iPhone and iPad before leaving home so that you can enjoy more than 80 guided tours of mid-century landmarks.

I really like the idea behind this app but I should probably start by recommending that you take a look at the download size. This app will cost you more than 1GB in data so make sure you’re hooked up to a Wi-Fi connection before you purchase it!

This has caused some issues for users who haven’t been able to fully enjoy the high-quality video content while actually visiting Palm Springs for lack of a solid Wi-Fi connection. You might want to consider this before purchasing Palm Springs Modern.
