England Originals

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

No pinch to zoom no rotation only small area’s not ready for public release shame.

Nice idea but it crashes every time I run it.

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.

Keeps crashing when launching the AR. Hopefully this can be fixed as it’s potentially a great app.

Such a great app and the use of AR is incredible.

Wouldn’t let me go any further than screen one, looks interesting and look forward to trying it again when the bugs are ironed out.

Difficult to give much of a review, as the app crashes back to the home screen when I tried to look at the City of London section on my iPad. Never got to try the augmented reality. Shame; would have been very useful to my American friends.

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.

Beautiful UI&UX, super informative and the AR module is amasing. Very good performance (iPhone 7S).
