Ratings and reviews

The AR tour won't work until you scan the ground around the sign. I've been scanning the ground for fifteen minutes. Figure out another way to make this app work. **edit** It took me twenty minutes, but I got it to work. After that it worked very well. The app was very informative and added a great deal to my visit.

Only being able to use ear plugs is unfavorable. For a paid app I would like to be able to relisten and look at the scenery after I get home because you miss things on the walking tour. There should be an option to view all of the same imagery and data through the app when you are not on site.

Don't install this app! I did and it crashed my phone. It seems malware was also installed. When I activated the AR feature of the app, it froze my screen and within minutes, my screen went black and could not be recovered. I was forced to buy a new phone. I want a refund AND reimbursement for the cost of my ruined phone.

What’s new

Bug fixes. Increased contrast to make text more visible in brightly lit conditions. Added additional notification to scan ground around markers in order to launch AR scenes.
