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. ### 4/5 — works fine *2024-11-27* 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 ### 2/5 — Poor functionality and performance *2024-09-28* 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! ### 1/5 — A disappointment *2024-09-26* 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. ### 4/5 — I’m not sure what the complaints are about *2024-08-27* 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. ### 1/5 — Almost totally useless *2024-07-13* I haven’t used this app in a while and looking for something to do I opened it and almost immediately remembered why I hadn’t used it. To search for anything near me it should be easier to use the map tabs, but as the maps never load I can’t. You can only list the sites in alphabetical order. There is absolutely no way to find out what events or properties are near to me using this app. It’s only useful if I know the name of the property I want to visit. I might as well use the member’s handbook. ### 1/5 — Needs a total renewal *2024-06-04* Not sure how old it is but I assume at least 5 years. Needs a massive refresh and redesign as well as fixing all the bugs. ### 1/5 — EH has many ruins and the app is one of them *2024-02-24* Illustrates the level of rubbish you can get away with. Last updated 2 YEARS AGO. Even English Heritage think it’s a waste of effort. It sort of works on iPhone but to be honest, I’ll be putting the paper guide in the car as it is more reliable. It does not even respect the screen orientation on the iPad, which is so basic a requirement as to be laughable. Two stars for the iPhone use, a hard zero for iPad. Well, it just lost another star. When I look for places on the map, all I get is a blank grey screen and the list view doesn’t show the distance of them from me. It will give you a site location but there is no way to click on this and fire-up Apple Maps to get there. Also doesn’t allow you to copy and paste the address. What rubbish. Not showing opening times for sites. Really? Useless. Utterly useless. ### 2/5 — Update to digital membership cards *2023-08-05* Most organisations use digital membership forms as they are far easier to use than forgetting your card, the app is not the greatest as it can take a while to find what you want all in all please invest in your apps then you won’t need to produce books and guides meaning our membership can be invested better than in paper and postage that just gets left in a draw and not really looked at ### 2/5 — Very poor app *2023-08-04* This app is so frustrating, it should be easy to use even just for the basics but it fails on all levels. There is no personalisation ability for members, even if you could just add your membership card to your wallet so you don’t have to carry it that would be an improvement. I’m guessing all money goes to the properties and their is none left for app development. It’s a shame, they are missing out on an emerging generation they need to buy into membership. Prime example is the membership handbook contains more information than the app. Who wants to carry that with them? Very outdated approach I’m afraid. ## Frequently asked questions about English Heritage Days Out ### What does the English Heritage Days Out app do?
