Great idea but some snags

We used this app as a school group. It was great for the kids to see how Vindolanda would have looked. A couple of snags:
Kids need to be able to read at an appropriate level. Voice overs would have been really helpful.
The app was quite tricky to see at times on a sunny site.

An estimated time for story completion would help us plan our visit too.

Great idea!

This is a brilliant app, and we have been enjoying virtually exploring the site and artefacts. We've run into a problem, though - the app freezes with a black screen just after we've stood in the rain and persuaded the door guard to let us see Sulpicius Pudens. Five times so far. Phone and iOs all up to date, and I've removed and reloaded the app twice... We'd love to play through to the end!
