User reviews

Groovy lil application

Well developed app for quick and easy searching of places to visit, local and further afield. Great job HD

Lazy Developers

Why are you several places closed when they are open! Wasted my time and money

The concept is great…

The photos are not very useful to see the size of the castle - many are very zoomed in, like on a stairwell or a pillar. Not helpful.

Rubbish App

Not worth downloading. Apparently there’s no sites within 50km of my location & I live 2 minutes away from one! According to ‘What’s on’ absolutely zilch going on. Sort it out

Membership Login FAIL

This app and the website is a failure. I can’t reserve tickets. Edinburgh Castle is impossible to go in without booking ahead, FAIL.
