A fantastic app showing a range of films in and around the city centre, the map interface helps track down footage of places both still here and long gone. I hope the app gets continual updates with new footage, even if it requires payment as its fascinating to watch

I live in Manchester, it's amazing seeing areas I know so well as they were years ago! I don't understand what the arrow thing is about & I do think some of the video clips could be better - for example, it is interesting seeing the people back then, but some clips have so many people you can't really see where they are, & I'd rather get a better view of the places. Great app though & I hope more is added to it!

App bug fixes, a missing image was restored in the About Section, its a minor change but we feel it is important to get things right. We are always looking to improve our Time Machine App and welcome suggestions and comments from you.
