Ratings and reviews

Takes a long time to load each screen. You MUST stand in front of the AR plaque or else all content on the screen goes away. This is terrible. If more than one person is in the same spot you're out of luck if you wanted to read anything or see the historic overlay. This project would have been better as physical panels of acrylic glass with the art instead of an app.

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.

The app is really helpful to visualize what the city might have looked like. The downside to the app is that much of the educational content can only be accessed when on site. My family and I ran out of time visiting the site and were hoping to take advantage of that content later.
