I have waited a long time for this app, I'm really pleased with the quality of this early release. All the data base looks complete, I'm currently in Switzerland and it checks out ok. After you load the database it locks up. So you need to close the app and restart. Im on a samsung s7. Then it works great. Many thanks for all the work guys,

Looking forward to this application but after installing and updating the database (as instructed) the app has frozen on the completed database update screen with none of the other buttons working. UPDATE the bugs seem to have been fixed and the app is working fine

Really nice and useful. Especially for travelling. I plan travel around Brittany and this will be great to find places to visit.

Downloaded and works fine for me. Databases updated OK, so perhaps sorted. Checked my local area in Wales and found many interesting sites. Always been a megalith fan, so this is a very helpful app.

Constantly asks to update database after 5th rum gave up. Says complete 4/4 each time.

We love Megalithic portal on pc and were really looking forward to a more field friendly version. BUT every time I try to download the database the app crashes. Tried on two modernish mid range devices, a number of times. Please sort!
