User reviews

Doesn’t seem to work for me on iPhone

Standing at the sites, and having done an update, reloaded app and downloaded the additional data files, I hear a chime sound but only see faint grid of dots when pointing phone at ground, but no images.

Maybe not supported ?

The app seems to be missing some sites, the server handling the content download is flakey so you end up having to download the same content multiple times. Then when you have downloaded it the AR doesn’t work anyway.

Adds dimension to a tour

My dad and I downloaded this app as a part of our Outer Hebrides tour. This augmented reality gave us a great tourist stop with a decent hike, and felt like a respectful way to gain a museum experience in protected land.

Excellent App

The app is excellent. It really helps bring to life the remains of the ancient sites.

Top tip for other users….. We did have problems getting one of the sites to scan because cattle had been scratching themselves against the post and hair from their coat was wound round the nails holding the QR code in place. This stopped the scanner working. It took us a while to realise what the problem was but once we pulled the hair away the scan worked immediately.
