App useless

Update Dec 24: App is now totally useless on iPad as no way to find places nearby and map is blank. It just about works on iPhone but is very clunky and slow and map is obscured by a red shading around your location. Might as well just use the website (though that is not one of the best either)

Apart from showing you potential places to visit, this app is virtually useless. In particular if you select a date to view opening times and prices etc. nothing happens. It is also very clunky, especially if when compared with say the excellent National Trust app.

works fine

the app gives a list or map of the closest sights to you, and all the info about them you would need. everything works fine.
However i feel like the app could be a lot more: having a digital membership card, we dont need physical cards which can get lost anymore. and the store on the app would help keep everything in one place.
app is fine though

Poor functionality and performance

There appears to be no way of finding places near my current location the map view of all sites list remains blank even with a good WiFi signal. Descriptions are brief with the app switching to internet browser at the slightest opportunity. Whilst this might be fine at home with WiFi it is next to useless when the site you are on has limited or no network connectivity (a large proportion of EH sites I would have thought). Very poor. At least it’s obvious none of our membership fees are being spent on the app!

A disappointment

It seems that this is now an abandoned app. Not sure why it's still in the App Store? Would love to use this to store favorites and plan a trip, and have that all saved offline, but it's basically impossible to use this app for anything.

If the owners of this app see this: feel free to reach out to me. I have a lot of experience managing a large non-profit organization's travel app, and have lots of thoughts about how to make this app into a useful tool for visitors.

I’m not sure what the complaints are about

I have an iPhone 13 and the app works flawlessly. I had pretty low expectations given the reviews but considering all I wanted was an app to tell me “what is near to where I am” without having to manually do that from the book it works for me.
