## Newest reviews (2 of 18)

### 1/5 — Basic flaw

*2016-12-24, version 1.1*

Can't return home page from a cemetery page.  Come on designers, you should be ashamed by this basic error.

### 1/5 — Disappointing App

*2016-07-30, version 1.1*

This App could be so much better. I imagined that it would provide similar information about individuals that can be found on the CWGC website but it just merely shows where there are CWGC graves and the numbers of individuals buried there. 
Having seen 
The Thiepval App (also by CWGC) I expected so much more from this app.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Mick

*2021-03-27, version 2.0*

Another poor attempt by the CWGC to produce an app that works. Get in someone who knows what they are doing or give it up.

### 1/5 — A CWGC volunteer

*2021-01-22, version 1.2*

Was going to use instead of printed paper. Very disappointed it just does not work, very clunky as reported in the other reviews.

### 1/5 — Great idea but doesn’t work

*2020-10-23, version 1.2*

No longer compatible with IOS 14? It seems to freeze on “fetching new cemeteries”

### 1/5 — Anon

*2020-09-16, version 1.2*

App no longer works with iOS!! Please get this sorted!!

### 1/5 — Now useless

*2020-08-09, version 1.2*

Since the cwgc ‘upgraded and improved’ their website neither this app or their website works... dreadfully sad as it all worked perfectly well before and was a useful tool.. now it’s just a shambles

### 1/5 — Very Poor

*2020-07-28, version 1.2*

Very disappointing app.  Tries to load new cemeteries every launch, when you find one it doesn’t list names and the casualty numbers listed don’t even match those on the CWGC website.

At best this is a beta version of an app,

### 1/5 — Would be a useful app...

*2020-01-31, version 1.1*

...but in dire need of an update to be useful as it doesn’t work with newer iPhones.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2020-01-27, version 1.1*

Doesn’t work anymore on iOS

### 1/5 — IOS version of app not working

*2019-12-29, version 1.1*

It’s been probably 6 weeks since I reported the app no longer works on iPhones and iPads.

### 1/5 — Needs updating

*2019-12-03, version 1.1*

Used to show name of cemetery in the balloon, since ios13 no longer shows anything in balloon just location on a map.

## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated)

### 4/5 — App improvement

*2021-06-17, version 2.2*

It would be nice to have the facility to log the graves found. Or at least log that you have visited the cemetery to pay your respects. I love waking and we often pop into cemeteries to look around and pay respect.

### 4/5 — Bien

*2018-11-09*

Très bien mais traduction française

### 2/5 — OK if you know the location.

*2021-06-10, version 2.2*

Otherwise not of great use as when you find a location just tells the number of graves at that location. No information about names of people.

### 2/5 — Really should expect better

*2021-05-19, version 2.2*

Doesn’t really live up to the description - surely developers can improve the experience here. Too many glitches to list. Sad because it could be a useful tool if it worked.

### 2/5 — Why?

*2020-06-27, version 1.2*

Why does the app ‘loading new cemeteries’ every time it’s opened, unless there’s no service?  How many years since new cemeteries were opened?!?
Makes the app almost useless as you wait in a slow 3G area for the ‘loading’ to complete!

### 2/5 — Needs some work to be compatible with latest iOS

*2019-09-19, version 1.1*

Useful pocket tool for when out & about & searching for local areas of interest but...

Finding ‘cemeteries nearby’ feature no longer works correctly on iOS 13. The balloon which should show the cemetery details is blank.
