Stories untold
The incredible bridge-jumping London bus, the 3ft tall ‘Count of Durham’, a car appearing on top of a famous Cambridge building overnight, the inspiration behind a certain world-famous boy wizard, the invention of the tank, and the recipe to produce 27 British Prime Ministers, over 30 international leaders, 50 Nobel Prize winners, and 120 Olympic medal winners from just one institution.

Ratings and Reviews
Unfortunately crashes regularly
Lovely looking app. Wish both Orientations worked on all menus. Seems like menus are portrait and the AR viewer landscape.
Biggest issue was it crashed multiple times, first when camera first opens, then when city is placed on table, then when tapping a landmark. Force quit each time it crashed and got a little further. I’m on an iPad Pro 12.9 inch, hope that helps.
Not working very well at all
I’m not sure what the makers of this app were trying to achieve but the result is all very underwhelming. They may want to go back and actually try to achieve what they say in the app they would like to do. When attempting to go into one of the portals for Chester it just didn’t work. On the desk top app you get a simple 3D model effect with a few rather lame explanations about the three things (in the one I tried -Chester) they have to choose from. Is that really all there is? If not then the guidance they provide on how to use the app is entirely useless. Tapping on things produces no response in most cases so you are just left with the feeling that this was a big idea that never actually got off the ground. Which is a shame because they could have made a platform that brings the history of these cities to life in an interactive way but what you get is the tantalising idea that there are interesting things to see and learn but you just can’t get there to see it. A quick dip in Wikipedia gives you more bang for your buck than this.
Much improved
Really loved using the latest version of this app for my trip to Cambridge last year, highly recommend the AR is fast and superbly executed. Bravo
