Does not work

Half the skeletons don’t have AR and the ones who do you have to watch a video that never loads

Let down

The woodpecker worked great and we were excited. Nothing else worked though. A lot of the AR needs you to watch a video first, but the video never loads. Good concept with zero follow through.

Bad bad bad

Tried to use app multiple times but just kept crashing after the initial screen. Tried reinstalling but no luck. Wish it would work!

Not as advertised—just videos

The signs implied you could hold up the app to select skeletons (with the green logo) and see a VR with the skin on. But all it allowed us to do was play videos.
