### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2025-06-01, version 1.2*

I can’t rate this app highly enough, it is just incredible to be able to step into the chapel and look at its carvings close up and learn about its history and some of its secrets and legends from anywhere in the world! The 360° views are particularly impressive

### 2/5 — Rosslyn chapel

*2018-08-31, version 1.1*

At present it seems to need more work! Buttons do not respond on most occasions. Almost impossible to navigate around. Sounded so exciting and lovely graphics but until problems are resolved it is not worth the money. 2 stars because it exists

### 5/5 — Absolutely Stunning

*2017-06-30, version 1.1*

Amazing App and well worth £1.99! The features are most informative and if you love the chapel (like me) and can't get there easily, this goes a great way to bringing it to you. Highly recommended

*2017-05-17, version 1.0*

I was astounded by this little gem of an app. Really well put together and with some incredible technology behind the scenes. I've never had the chance to visit the chapel in person, but feel like I have now. Great work.
