Explore cities differently

Archived — no longer available

What was Scanmarks?

Scanmarks was an iPhone and iPad app that let you explore cities differently and learn more about the landmarks around you. Rather than overloading you with information, it gave a short, focused summary of what you were looking at — wherever in the world you were.

Features

Offline Support

No internet connection was required, so you could take Scanmarks wherever you went without worrying about data charges.

Information

A short but detailed summary of each landmark, so you weren't left searching for the facts.

Images

Alongside the information, a high quality image of the landmark you were looking at.

A look back

Screenshots from the app, exploring San Francisco, London and Paris.
