A70%
by A####:

Five stars for the concept, one star for the execution. You have to hold your phone perfectly still over the magazine through the whole video or it will quit. Lame! Also very jumpy and hard to hold still. Needs to dampen the reaction to the phone sensors a lot.

Everytime I load it, it doesn't. The loading screen comes up then it closes.please fix it

K70%
by K####:

The improvements are noticeable over Aurasma Lite, but you need to have decent lite to get it work. The video remains if you move the phone away from the magazine, this used to annoy me. I didn't always want to see the video, but knowing I couldn't get it to work was simply frustrating. Good work.

I have failed many tines to us this aura rubbish, first with the original app and now with this dedicated TG app. I'm a tech savvy person but just cannot get this app to focus in on imagine, and if you do eventually get it to focus it won't do anything (even when connected to the net). What's wrong with using QR codes, which is basically the industry standard and everyone has a pre existing app to scan them. Very poor, sort it out. I hope this fails though and hope that TG choose QR.

Doesnt work at all on my phone. All the reviews of people that have my phone says it wont start up. Sort it out

K70%
by K####:

Was this app created by Richard and Jeremy because it's about as good as a Top Gear stunt - at least on my phone. A bit gutted because I was looking forward to the BAC Mono video and some of the other exotic stuff in the Speed Week article 08/2012. If the app only works with certain phones, please let us know and if its the app, please fix it. Cheers
