A good start but a pretty poor interface. Not enough information on sites. Navigation to each site from Google maps would be useful.

App hasn't been updated in a year. None of the historical monuments have been added that I can see. The data is all there on the website so I can't understand why it hasn't made it to the app.

Good handy app, facilities not always up to date and it would be nice to have all properties on it rather than just the ones you pay entry on.

After all these years using the app, the new update demands phone identity & account data. Bloody well not needed or happening. Uninstalled.

It's a bit jerky and the interface isn't amazing, but I do like the app. It seems out of date and I think that's a shame.

This is a great app but why are all your site's not on it? Please add them on.

This app seems to be aimed at tourists and I wouldn't be surprised to find that all the places in the app are ones that have an entry fee. Please add all the places into the app. Let us have the option of downloading more detail for areas of interest. Use the opportunity to plug Historic Scotland publications - even give us the option of buying them on line through the app. Oh, and one more thing, the grid references in the Members' Handbook are OS style and the app's map is Google. This isn't helpful.

Well designed app giving info about places to visit and how to get there. 'What's near me' feature very nice.
by Z####:
Very disappointed in this app, because it only includes staffed properties. I thought it would be great to get sat nav directions for hard to find sites like standing stones, or look for all Roman sites in an area, but none of those are on it. You'll never find any hidden gems with this, just the places you already know. Utterly useless.
