This app adds a whole new element to the Foxton locks experience. Seeing the caissons come to life in augmented reality is great!

Yes, this app is £3.99 but you get the money back when you go to the museum, so it's basically free. I downloaded this for a visit to Foxton with my girls age 5 & 7. They absolutely loved the Foxton Quest and thought the Looking Glass feature was amazing. It really brought the history to life. Fun AND educational. Highly recommended.

The app is Free but most of the content is not. £3.99 is just too expensive for the content on offer. If it was £1.00 I am fairly certain they would make more money overall. As it is without paying for the premium features it is pretty much surplus to requirements. Foxton Locks really is a beautiful place though.

this app is now free. it always was, as it included a free entry ticket to the BoilerHouse but very few people understood that so now it is totally free, but will not give you access to the BoilerHouse Museum.

To use the virtual viewer you have to pay £3.99. Rip off.

Have to pay £3.99 to get any real use out of this app. Don't bother downloading it unless you are prepared to pay for everything

Really wanted to like this app but the Looking Glass function caused my Samsung Galaxy S4 to crash every time.
