It wasn’t very good then and it’s not any better now. Save your money there are free resources that are far better. ### 5/5 — Yorescape *2024-11-18, version 1.5.1* Yorescape is Marvelous. If you’re into history and would like to see the city you’re reading about. Flyover is Excellent. It has all the Major Cities of History. So if you’d like to take a walk down the street. Have fun ### 3/5 — Good, but there’s work to be done. *2024-11-12, version 1.5.1* It’s a very neat app, from what I’ve seen so far. I paid my thirty dollars to see what else there was to offer. And while I’m enjoying that extra content, there’s just one claim that irks me. There is no free roaming, it is practically the equivalent of a 90s point and click slide show. And it’s a shame. You’re telling me you recreated the entire Roman Empire and I’m not allowed to walk the beautifully 3D rendered streets? I’m gonna keep listening to the stuff y’all put out, but the free roaming claim is absurd. It’s just like google street view, clicking to move place to place. Gosh it irks me very much indeed Mr Yorescape, and personally, if I were you.. Can’t remember what I was gonna type. ### 1/5 — Pessima *2024-10-12, version 1.5.1* Scarsi contenuti, tempi di caricamento elefantiaci, il time warp non funziona (almeno su tablet), veramente una ciofeca, tutto fumo negli occhi. Spendete i vostri soldi su qualsiasi altra cosa, pure pizza e birra. ### 1/5 — L’application fonctionne mal. Dommage… *2024-01-06, version 1.4.0* L’application est toujours en train de planter : je n’ai jamais réussi à voir les Bains de Caracalla… ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2023-12-09, version 1.4.0* Simply stated, the App doesn’t work. I have the latest iPhone (15pro). Got the app - and paid $29.99 annual subscription - for the Rome Reborn 4.0 subscription. Every time I try to launch the app to access the Rome reborn content, the app crashes. EVERY SIBGLE TIME. Simply cannot use the app or access any of the Rome Reborn content for which I paid $30 bucks. Total and complete waste of money. DO NOT get this app. You will only wind up frustrated and annoyed. I’d give it a 0 if I could. ### 1/5 — crashes *2023-11-16, version 1.4.0* this app crashes constantly. i cant watch the flying over rome, it takes ages to load and then crashes ### 1/5 — App does not stay open *2023-11-14, version 1.4.0* I could the app particularly disappointing in that first it is slow to load and then right in the middle of one of the videos the app would repeatedly close. Never happened in the same place but I never was able to complete the video. ### 1/5 — Non funziona *2023-11-12, version 1.4.0* Prima di comprare la versione premium ho provato la versione gratuita (terme di Caracalla). Continua a chiudersi, impossibile utilizzarla ### 1/5 — Poor experience *2023-11-10, version 1.4.0* Very disappointed. Wasted time loading and subscribing to access some free content but the app doesn’t appear to work on my iPhone and I’m not signing up for paid access ‘free trial’ until I see the app in action. I saw no evidence this app functions except to show 2D sample images. ## Frequently asked questions about Yorescape ### What historical sites can I visit with Yorescape?
