User Reviews

Not impressed, it didn't make sense Not very user friendly

Like a Tardis in your pocket! Follow trails around the local area and be transported back to that very spot in the past. Great way to add interest to walks and an excellent educational tool. The app also allows you to explore archival content whilst at home via an intuitive map search feature- it doubles as a great rainy day activity too. Highly recommended to any one with an interest in history or who wants to get out and explore!
