In a world with so many bad apps this one shines. Vibrant to view. So interesting and user friendly. Very wowed by it.

Even works on my iPad Air! Very happy.

Just wished the graphics were more clearer but very happy. My tablet complains it doesn’t support the app but it runs it anyway without issues except pop up at beginning with complaint. I’m happy and just ignore the silly error message. Highly recommend this for children or history enthusiasts.

LOOK MOM AR!

To developers,
The joint effort is truly commendable - just dial down some of the interface ARness. It just gets in the way. Some of the artifacts are really eerie superimposed so on/in my room! Comment is for A12 device, large viewport.
