User reviews

Ancient Coins of Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Please, update this app. Ancient Coin information is not found in many places in the Apple store, in fact none! I have several Coin app before the update, but they do not function on this current update. This app was excellent for what ancient coins were found in the MFA, Boston. Concern coin collector Cardiff!

Too big to keep

Enjoyed this app on ancient coins, but it was too big to keep on my "older" iPad. It swallowed up 10% of the overall storage space. That's too much for one app. I decided to delete it.

Where did it go?

Sad this app has disappeared.

Please note the file size before downloading

I wish the app had been created in such a way that the amount of space it takes up was not over 1 GB! It may be a great app, but I had to erase this memory hog because an app of this size is not friendly to general users who use their iPads for lots of stuff. I'm bummed. :-(

Amazing app!

Thanks a lot. Please add more coins in future updates.
