### 1/5 — SCAM - Will charge you without notice

*2024-04-07*

Downloaded the app and the first button I pressed charged me $26. Never shown a price or anything. I requested an refund but no response yet.

### 5/5 — Very useful!

*2024-04-04*

I downloaded the app while waiting outside to enter and also the full version (free « purchase » within the app) since I wouldn’t have service in the stone building. You use the overview to select one of the 15 windows and then the blue dot of one of the scenes to see the image and description. You can enlarge it and go to the next scene by swiping left (or sometimes right). The creator of the app is often on site to show you how as well! Essential for seeing the images behind the structure of the altar or the higher images.

### 5/5 — Great, once you know how to use it

*2024-02-27*

I had downloaded this app prior to our visit to Saint Chappelle. I did not download the full version of the all of the windows. I found the app initially confusing to use and once in SC couldn’t really get it working. Yet as luck would have it, I met the fellow who created the app in SC!! He is one of the security people and he showed me how the basic app works. I promised him that I’d go on the app store and leave a review explaining the basic operation. When you open the app, select the Rose Window “Layout Mode.” You’ll see the grid of the Rose Window with a magnifying glass that can be moved around to select the many sections that make up the window. Each image selected has the information about that image and by selecting the blow-up of the image in the lower left hand corner, you can see it in more detail. You can’t possibly see all of the glass panes in this extraordinary chapel but you can sure enjoy it more by concentrating on the Rose Window panes. Apparently, the museum is developing a new app which will work better but I found this app - once I knew how to navigate through it - really wonderful to use while standing under the Rose Window and viewing it.

### 4/5 — Super helpful

*2022-07-08, version 1.6*

We downloaded the app before visiting and it helped us identify the individual stories.  The chapel is overwhelming and this provides clarity.

### 5/5 — Very helpful to understand the glass and see up close

*2022-04-20, version 1.6*

We found this app while sitting in sainte-chapelle trying to figure out the stories the glass told. While the church has some cards which tell you broadly what each huge window represents, thus app tells you exactly how each tiny window tells the biblical stories. Better yet, you can pick any piece of glass and zoom in to see the incredible details up close.  Lastly, someone tapped us on the shoulder while we were using the app and revealed that he was the app’s creator. He works in the chapel and saw the need for such an app.

### 5/5 — Money well spent

*2021-12-31, version 1.6*

I was in the chapel using this app, and the app’s designer came up and shared more information about the windows. An incredible bonus. Of course that’s not going to be the usual experience. Nonetheless, the app helps you decipher the windows, which are otherwise impossible to understand even if you know your Bible.

### 1/5 — Impossible to use

*2017-06-18, version 1.4*

It can't decipher an image! Beautiful chapel but overpriced.
