No crowd simulation?

I bought the full app for my young son who is fascinated with Makkah; all is great especially the details. The only problem is I am not able to turn on the crowd simulation. I have the full app yet there is no button to activate a crowd. My 4 year old keeps insisting he walks around the kabbah with other people but I can’t find how to do that. Please some one explain.

Amazing Details, Rich content, impressive Technology.

This is the App of the year (at least for me). You feel like you are right there, in the midst of it, wether in Mekkah or Medinah. The details are amazing (look for the scriptures, the patterns on the walls and the carpets, even the spinning fans just like in real life). And to be able to take a peek inside the Kaaba is just the icing on the cake.

The Augmented Reality option is impressive to say the least. To be able to project the Kaaba (life size or reduced size) anywhere and then walk around it and see it, is genius.

This app is a must for anyone planning to go to Mekkah or Medinah, it will help them prepare for the trip. Even those not going out just curious can benefit from it.

Only enhancement I'd like to see is more holy sites and more information Windows everywhere that explain what I'm looking at.

Great job!
Good Bless you.
