Doesn’t work

Could be so useful but sadly the app is useless. You simply can’t see the stoves in position. If Charnwood used it for themselves, they would see that it doesn’t work. I can understand that a small company like Charnwood is unable to spend the money to do a good app, but this is just embarrassing. And it would be soooooo helpful if they could get a viewer like this to work.

Hopeless

As others have said doesn’t work properly. After scanning tag places fire image in a different position. Trying to move around to place it properly flips it on its front or back or it ends up floating in the air like the Tardis. Can’t see mantlepiece with fire in it as too close backing away makes fire a lot smaller in relation to mantlepiece and disappears altogether.

Terrible

Utterly useless app. When you use the tag at the back of the catalogue the digital render of the fireplace doesn’t align with it, so the fireplace floats randomly on your screen. The render of the fireplace is also very poor quality.

Hopeless

Similar to others, tag link fails (but it is available if you search). I printed it landscape A4, no idea if that’s correct as it’s not specified anywhere. However, even with this the stove I wanted to show wasn’t listed so I picked another just to get a gauge of something similar in my fireplace. It’s still useless, seemingly at random the stove flips to be face down and when it’s correctly orientated it levitates in mid air and offset to the left of the tag. If you try and step back to get a wider angle view (so your screen isn’t fully filled with the stove) then it loses the tag reference and the stove vanishes. Utterly hopeless.

Terrible!

Probably the worst designed app on the planet, so pointlessly complicated. Do better Charnwood!
