Loved discovering this app when I arrived at Union Station this morning. I had difficulty getting some videos to work, but the ones I saw were neat. Sadly, a portion of the station was closed for a special event and I wasn't able to access half the floor spots. One spot was just four feet inside the closed area and it would be nice which was disappointing to be so close, yet not see it.

Good attempt though

Thoroughly enjoyed this when it worked. Never did get "Grooves in the floor" to work, but stayed with it to get the others to work (some took several attempts). So much fun! Some of the markers were hard to find. Never found the spot for the massacre from the mobsters perspective so it was a tad distorted. LOVED the ability to snap photos within the app. I would love this for all my vacation destinations!

The execution needs work. I was finally able to view all the videos. Had to just stick with it, error after error. Sometimes it would tell me I had to be in the station when I was. Other times it would say GPS wasn't on when it was. Other times still, it would just error out.

Loved it! But I had to knock off a star because some of the videos only worked once or not at all....
