Montreal comes alive at night

Even in -8 weather, we were transported at each stop. Amazing technology!

Brilliant idea, needs work

We were super excited about to do this and it’s a really fun idea! However, I can’t get the sound to work at all and it’s hard to tell what’s going on without it. It’s also challenging to navigate since it doesn’t give you directions or the address of the next spot.

Incredible city app-- especially at night

You MUST at least do one of the 30 minute night circuits if you're in town. The projections on the walls of buildings look fantastic.

Do this with an iPad if you can. The extra large screen improves the experience, and you'll need the battery life.

Daytime circuit is less visually amazing but still a fun way to spend an afternoon learning about Montreal.

A few minor ways this app could be improved:
1) Say which direction to face. We did the first stop of the northern (red) 30 minute day circuit facing the wrong direction, so the picture wasn't as cool.
2) Make the starting address easy to copy & paste into a maps application to get directions to the starting place.
3) The app isn't stable in the background, so if you stop for a coffee you have to reload and click though to get back to where you left off.
