Well made. Only downside: Only available in four languages. An opportunity missed, especially as the English version requires a strong English! ### 1/5 — So excited only to be disappointed. *2024-09-01, version 5.0.1* What a cool idea! If only there were more than a few projections working and the app was functional. Half of the time we arrived only to be told the Google play wasn’t working. The other half we couldn’t get the audio to play. We gave up after four. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-07-05, version 5.0.1* Tried the app out when visiting Montreal but it didn’t work for myself or the rest of my family. Kept saying “server error” every time I clicked on anything and I couldn’t see any projections. I wouldn’t trust the app at all and needs a lot of work. ### 1/5 — Déception *2024-07-04, version 5.0.1* Le site est superbe, mais seule une des 5 vidéos fonctionne. D’où la déception. ### 1/5 — Très très lourd *2024-03-20, version 5.0.1* Une fois l’application téléchargée, j’ai du télécharger plus de 1 Go de données pour que ça ouvre enfin. Ça prend beaucoup de batterie lors du téléchargement, mais aussi une fois installé. Le contenu est correct. Mais j’ai dejà vu mieux. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2024-03-16, version 5.0.1* First, the website listed only 3 locations that weren’t open, but when you open the app at least half of them aren’t available. Then, it says sunset, but once we got to our first location, it actually started 40 min after sunset. So we waited. In the cold. Finally it hit the time, but the app didn’t work. It kept synchronizing for us and all the people around us for over 15 minutes. So, we gave up and walked to a second location, where it did the same thing before finally alerting us that there is a server error. Which isn’t noted anywhere on their website or anywhere you can look before actually showing up to the location. It seems like such a cool thing to do, but there needs to be better communication when things are closed or not working. And there needs to be clear times posted on the website other than just saying sunset. ### 3/5 — Merci *2024-03-08, version 5.0.1* Beaucoup de projection ne fonctionnait pas ### 1/5 — Il manque d’instructions *2024-01-28, version 5.0.1* L’application ne donne pas les instructions pour trouver les endroits où se trouvent les projections. On cherche où aller sans trop de repères ### 1/5 — Tres mauvaise application *2023-09-04, version 5.0.0* L’application dedié à l’évennement est tres complex, difgicile a utilisé et pas du tout intuitive. Tres difficile de savoir rapidement les emplacement des présentations ## Frequently asked questions about Cité Mémoire ### What does Cité Mémoire do?
