Ratings and Reviews
Stunning!
This is an awesome app with a brilliant, clever virtual tour of an ancient site that lets you see inside. Also has tools to let you explore, with lots of background and info provided. Love it!
Loaded upside down!
Weirdly it loaded upside down on my iPad. I could turn it round and enjoy - great content - but would be better if the right way round of course!
