FORM's community-driven, GPS-based iPhone app, Abandoned, lets you explore modern day ruins from empty mental asylums and submerged cities to forgotten hotels and ghost towns. GPS mapping automatically locates nearby abandoned places.

Users can share comments and reviews about each location, and upload their own locations with descriptions and photos. The app can also be used to store a private log of locations.

There are several new features in the recently updated version 1.11:

- Ability to jump to map view within a location detail screen
- Ability to store public locations to "My Places" list
- Ability for users to contribute more than one comment per location

Abandoned costs $2.99 and is available on Apple's App Store.

Few places so far...

I bought this app and it shows lots of promise. However, if your on the west coast, you will find locations far and few. I've already submitted some local spots near where I live but the point is to find new ones... maybe in a few months it will be better...
