Historic Scotland

Not worth downloading. Apparently there’s no sites within 50km of my location & I live 2 minutes away from one! According to ‘What’s on’ absolutely zilch going on. Sort it out

This app and the website is a failure. I can’t reserve tickets. Edinburgh Castle is impossible to go in without booking ahead, FAIL.

Says some sites are closed when they are open. How many people are missing out on places because it says it is closed? For example Linlithgow Palace, shows as closed but is definitely open. The update option is buried in settings but even when I did that the information was still no updated. How about doing updates when you open the app?

Information on app is pointless as so outdated!! Potentially very good if information relevant….. missed opportunity.

Sufficiently detailed directions to get to many of the more remote sites are distinctly lacking.

You would think it would have Scotland’s pyramid on it. 🤔

Would be handy if you could login to the app using your Historic Scotland logins and see your membership stays and maybe sync things that you’ve seen online to the app so that you can just go to the event on the app instead of having to search for it again

An excellent app showing the locations of all Historic Scotland managed locations. The Map of Scotland took is great for checking what’s around the area you’re planning to visit. You can make an itinerary of what to visit and check of where you’ve been. On the aforementioned map, it would be useful to see what locations are marked as ‘visited’ (maybe change the icon colour) and show those on an itinerary. It would also be great if the itinerary took was more integrated into the map locations pages and map, as well as being able to select locations based on their map location rather than having to go back and forth to find the close together locations.

My iPhone has its own maps application, but when looking for directions, I’m expected to download Google maps - why? And come to that, grid references are useful, but far more useful for most people would be an exact address with postcode, since that’s how my satnav finds places, not with grid references. These are available on the main website, so I’m not sure why they are inaccessible to the app.

Please, please make it available in auto rotate mode.
