Map doesn’t work
Map is completely blacked out on iPhone. Potentially a good app if the map worked.
Excellent
Gives a very clear and concise overview of a disjointed battle. Puts each stand in overall context and in clear relation to both the previous stand and the time frame of the battle. Need similar for Waterloo.
Outstanding
First class app.
An infantryman's view
Well done and thanks! To an infantryman who appreciates ground this is great to get round the battlefield, with the augmented reality adding a huge plus. The fact that you can see real photos and hear audioand watch video brings the battlefield to 'life' in a way that nothing else can - I have walked many a battlefield and listened to great story tellers and watched films and computer graphics in the visitor centre but this is so much better its right there with you- on the ground with all these extras anytime you want. Cheaper than the visitor centre headphone with all this extras - fantastic value. More please!!

This is a great app! I downloaded it before I went to the Netherlands and could access all the background info on the battle. Once it Arnhem the app guided me easily from spot to spot around the town and the countryside. At each location there is a voice file describing the action during the battle. There are also photos, some of them linked to the exact spots on the ground and at some stops there are video and sound files that help bring the battle alive. The augmented reality is what makes this app great. Once I had listened to the voice file I could look through my phone held up in front of me and it would pinpoint the sites from the description on the ground in front of me. Excellent!! Much better than just reading a book on the battle (which I had also done before going). The app really puts you on the spot with the sights and sounds. I look forward to more.
