I downloaded the app and with full WiFi signal, I was unable to scroll the screen up or down to view the other content on the screen.

K70%
by K####:

The extent of locked content and the inability to order tickets makes this a poor app, but with great potential. Why are these basic issues not being addressed already by the developer

Couldn't connect to buy tickets despite full wifi service

Very comprehensive app. Love all the historical info about various London landmarks. I don't know what the other comment below means about it not working on tablets!

Great app for London lovers...lots of pics and info about London and its landmarks. Also info about the tourist attraction and the building itself. Link to website to buy your tickets. Worth downloading!

General functionality is good, but all that locked content, accessible only from the Shard's own network, really is a bit mean.

M70%
by M####:

The panorama view is a joke, uncontrollable and pointless. The rest is not much better.

Z70%
by Z####:

It might be a good app but I couldn't open it. I'm eager to test it as soon as it has ART support
