### 1/5 — Total waste of $

*2021-06-03, version 2.0*

I expected more detail and history on the watches. It’s just a small picture of each, less than what you get for free on the internet. Huge waste of money, do not buy.

### 1/5 — This is not for IPad

*2020-11-23, version 2.0*

I purchased Vintage Rolex for iPad many years ago, and it was corrupted in my iPad last week by some reason. Then, I had to buy this version since the app required $24.99 by some reason.
However, I have purchased again assuming that previously purchased iPad app was expired, this version is for the small screen iPhone, and nowhere near the iPad size version what I have purchased previously. It is almost fraud.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2020-08-11, version 2.0*

Auro (John Goldberger) app is brilliant for on the go access to superlative Rolex information. I will eventually get the book when I’ve saved up a bit, but for the price and convenience in app format I am very happy.

### 1/5 — Datejust 1603 is not included!

*2018-04-12, version 2.0*

I spent 25 dollars to see if I could get some information on a Datejust I found. Well, it is not included in the app.

### 3/5 — Decent if you don't want the book

*2016-04-06, version 1.3*

Given the book is $400+ on the secondary market this isn't a bad price. Great pictures and references. 

A couple of detractors.

Buggy:  there are times where the loading page locks and I need to reset my phone. 

Poor UI:  difficult to flip from dial to movement to caseback for a particular watch. For example, if I'm looking at a 1601 reference watch and I want to see the movement, I have to exit the watch screen and then find the corresponding caliber on a separate screen. It should really be more seamless.
