What's New in Denniston

2.01

October 18, 2020

Wow. Where to start. The original Denniston app was written for the Department of Conservation over 10 years ago. With no maintenance plan or budget, the app was left untouched and eventually wouldn't work on modern iOS devices. I've finally found time to completely rewrite the app. Although there is no new content, there are also no deprecated API calls, or constants referring to fixed view sizes. The bottom line? Denniston is back with all the original content but now working on all modern iOS devices. Enjoy! Version 2.01 includes more minor user interface enhancements and a few more images of Denniston.

User reviews

Fabulous site - great App!

This app is a great way to experience Denniston - on site or even before or after a visit. It really brought the place alive. I loved the old photos showing you exactly how the place used to be - right where you are standing. The video clips are awesome. The book clips also share a different side to the place. I recommend the app and to visit!
