User Reviews

Users praise the app for ease of use, discovering new sites, and providing informative content about Scotland's history. Recurrent complaints focus on map/navigation dependency on Google Maps and problems accessing digital membership cards or signing in.

Pros

Very easy to use and intuitive navigation.
Helps discover new places and plan itineraries for days out.
Provides useful, up-to-date information on opening times, costs, and events.
Strong focus on Scotland's history and historic sites.

Cons

Map directions rely on Google Maps with limited alternatives; directions can fail and integration issues exist (Android 11 manifest).
Digital membership card access and sign-in issues (can't access the digital card; no in-app sign-in).

Recent reviews

I think the "Travel by bus" option on Location page should have a Directions link just like the "by foot/car" option. The description for bus should include an assessment of the walk on arrival, especially where no pavements/paths. e.g. Chesters Hill Fort by side of road and Tantallon's invisible bus stop.
