It would be useful to see the camera slope / pitch in degree and height in meters too at free look. ### 2/5 — Should be free *2020-12-26, version 1.0.6* Not worth that much 😂 ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2018-04-23, version 1.0.6* I got this app when it first came out and I loved it. I still love it now. As for price, people don’t realize how much effort it takes to create apps like this. You pay about the same for a burger and fries and your money is gone (the stomach ache lingers for a while though). This app is great for children and adults, so don’t hesitate...get it now. Oh, one more thing: why are great apps hidden, while terrible apps are pushed? The previous App Store was bad, but the latest is as terrible as terrible can be. Please Apple, you can do better than this! ### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar, weil nicht korrekt *2017-08-29, version 1.0.6* Beispiel: Die Nische in der sog. Königinnenkammer ist an der falschen Stelle. ### 4/5 — PÓNGANLA EN ESPAÑOL Y SERÁ PERFECTA *2017-04-25, version 1.0.5* Es una excelente app, realmente da un recorrido virtual por las pirámides. Hasta ahora sólo viene en inglés, y eso es un error. Deberían ofrecerla con más variedad de idiomas. Si pudieron hacerlo con la app de 'Los Elementos' ¿por qué no con ésta? ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2016-03-21, version 1.0.4* For those lovers of ancient Egypt this is so far the best app on the matter. Excellent photography and information. Thank you for it. ### 2/5 — Expected more... *2015-12-17, version 1.0.4* ...not worth what I paid for it. ### 2/5 — Lacks Content *2015-11-21, version 1.0.4* Interesting but limited in content. The digital recreation is way off from the actual photo. King Tut tomb is not included which is a real letdown. Not worth the $ and pretty much a one time app. Good concept for the developer but the end user gets shafted ### 1/5 — Does not work on iPad *2015-07-01, version 1.0.4* This does Not work on iPad. It opens then immediately closes. I am disappointed. Can't seem to contact the company from their app page. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2015-06-22, version 1.0.4* This app is so worth the purchase. Brilliantly done. Exceeds my expectations. I really want to see the real thing now. ## Frequently asked questions about The Pyramids ### What does The Pyramids app offer?
