### 3/5 — Good idea, but I don’t rate the AR

*2022-04-08, version 1.0.2*

Augmented reality just makes this clunky and awkward to use, it would have been much better and easier to just be able to navigate with our fingers, or at least have an option to do so.

### 3/5 — A good idea but limited

*2019-03-31, version 1.0.2*

It looks great and it works well (standard iPad 2018) but there is no supporting information, which is a shame because someone clearly had this information to make the app. It would benefit greatly from a few little snippets to highlight what had changed, how and why.

### 3/5 — How does this work?!

*2019-02-17, version 1.0.2*

The app loads and then crashes straight away. I followed a link on LinkedIn and downloaded the app- unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work. I have an iPhone 6s, so it should work! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work!

*2018-08-16, version 1.0.2*

I can’t seem to get this to work, it just loads! It sounds like it’s a great app to use in the classroom so would love to see if the bug can be fixed!
