Doctor Who AR Tardis for Android
Please note: that in order for the app to work the user must select a detailed trigger image for the Tardis to materialise upon. A newspaper, magazine, or poster placed upon a flat surface works best. A tailor made trigger image can also be downloaded and printed directly from our website:

Point your device directly above the target for best results. Once the Tardis begins to materialise you may have to pull your device back slightly to gain a full view of the object.
This app was made for fans of Doctor Who, however we welcome feedback from all users on your experience and how we can potentially improve this app.

Tried to use but all I could see was the roof of the TARDIS. Kind of managed to get it to work by pointing the phone down towards my lap but the TARDIS kept falling over when I moved the phone. I hope this app gets fixed because it looks fun.
This is a great idea but I can't for the life of me get it to work. I like the idea so much I am keeping it to persevere with it. However it does not respond to my phone auto rotate function and as a result the way I actually need to use my camera is back to front maybe an update of this and I would have more success
I love this app! In order for it to work properly, you have to keep the phone still and parallel to your reference photo thing during the time vortex animation. Then, once the TARDIS has materialized, slowly move backwards so you can see the entire TARDIS.
Needs a bit of work. The TARDIS that appears only lasts about 4 seconds, please make it longer. And to the people that complain that it only shows the roof, move your phone or tablet so it can see the whole TARDIS.
Needs fixing screen is upside down. Problems with the gyro scope. And the tardis lands wrong , lands looking down the tardis no a front view.
Works well if you like the roof of the TARDIS. Move too fast and it goes away. Also hard sets the rotation to be upsidedown on my phone. Fix all the things and it might be worth it. Running nexus 4 with kk 4.4.2
I love this app, but can anyone tell me where the screenshots are saved? I cannot find them anywhere on my device (hawei y300 android 4.1). Thanks for reply.
All you idiots only seeing the Tardis roof READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. However could do with some tweaking as its very temperamental just the slightest quick movement or someone walking into the area in front of you and the image disappears. Make it easier to keep the image of the Tardis and you've got 5 stars.
When i take picture and the tardis appears all i see is the light on top. I try to move it to see the tardis but then it goes away. Not what i was expecting and very disappointed.
Soon after I pull back the phone either slowly or quickly the animation is lost. So frustrating! This is a rappo app with even crapper permissions
Just the result of the idea is terrible all in all its a waist of time dont get this . Makers please fix the crap that is wrong with this
As still as you keep the camera, you only ever get the top of the TARDIS. Needs serious work!
Hold the camera over a detailed surface, press the cam button and hold still. When the Tardis starts to appear, slowly move your camera. Done!
All I see is the top of the TARDIS after it lands. Can't get it to land like it should.
Installed on SGS & SGS2 but neither allows me to take a picture & see it in gallery nor upload to facebook. Needs an option to turn off vortex of Tardis landing. Better explanation on proper usage might stop the negative comments & ratings. Apart from that out works great.
Never worked just came up right in front of my face! Worthless piece of junk!
It good and all but when I try to just put in my house it goes on the wall and when I pointed it on the floor it did the sane thing and I made my friend stand next to it it went green and it was still on the wall i give 5 stars if fix plz
For all the people i have figure out to not see just the top. Get like a detailed poster and lay it flat. The take the picture and hod it there where you only see the top. Then wait for it to demeterialize then step back a bit but keep the camera aimed at the pic. Then when it materializes again u can look at it 360.... Plz rate if this is helpful
Absolutely horrible 1)tardis is upside down 2) if failure you have to watch the boring and long vortex scene again! I love doctor who but this app is T E R R I B L E
Had to take battery out to turn off. As far as picture goes all I got was the top of the light... And it wasn't even on a picture... Make it work and it would be fun...
Love this app so much! I'm a real whovian and I take T.A.R.D.I.S pictures wherever I go! Whish you could choose a bigger tardis as well though! And the camera is a bit finicky but all in all very cool
A lot of people are saying it doesn't work, or that only the roof is shown. I'm using the app on a Samsung Tab 3, 7 inch, and it works perfectly. Either the app has been updated or it just doesn't like some other devices.
I just see the top of the TARDIS.
It's a bit rough, but fun if you follow the directions. The TARDIS seems to leave a few seconds after it materializes, which is disappointing, but I have fun saying the TARDIS just landed in our living room.
It doesn't work at do all picturesque tardis wrong way around when a did it again didnt work plz dont get it its rubbish it a waste your people's a wouldn't get it
I love this app! In order for it to work properly, you have to keep the phone still and parallel to your reference photo thing during the time vortex animation. Then, once the TARDIS has materialized, slowly move backwards so you can see the entire TARDIS.
You can only see the top of it I cannot figure out how to view any more of it because if I try to move the phone it tries to materialize in a different place I think this could be a great app if this minor problem is fixed
I can't move it, and when I take a picture the top of it fills up the screen, I would like to know how to move it please.
How does this work i can only focus it on tv when its on and it goes in wrong diretion it goes side ways
As still as you keep the camera, you only ever get the top of the TARDIS. Needs serious work!
when i put it on the paper i am using it just only shows me the top hated it take my advice dont download this game no dont
It seems like a great idea but I have a tablet so it doesn't work all I see is the top of the tardis, I wish it did though.
First go, got the backgrond hazey image and sound no police box. After got green target lock second got nothing at all and whats really annoying second u take pic u have save or post to FB so it hides the middle u can't see the picture hardly. WTF. Thought this would be a good laugh. But don't work well for Samsung galaxy s4 using Android kitikat 4.4. Fix and I may re-try
I thought it was going to be such a lame app but if you leave it to warm up and take good pitcher with very good detail it really works
I tried all the tips, but still doesn't work, all I get is the top of the TARDIS... it seems like a great idea, but just doesn't work for me :-
I'm a total whovian. And download every app. But I'm just mommy's 10 year old girl, and I love doctor who as much as any other gifted 5th grader whovian stud. in my class and love this app. And you shouldn't say stuff like it's sh*ty or cr** cause my 6 year old best friend reads all the comments even if he's not getting it
It does not work if you take a normal picture of say a poster on the wall, when you do this the tardis comes up sideways on the wall, and the tardis is way to small, make it bigger! Also when you finally get a good one, you have to back up slowly to see it 3D, but tardis dissapears when trying to back up, major bug issues
I click on the + and then I get a target, I aim at simething till the target turns green, then I hit the camera button, and then it shows the TARDIS giing thriugh the time vortex and then the original pic materializes minus the TARDIS then the journey starts all over again...this wouldve been a huge hit amidst my friends and family
Once i got the hang of how to do it which took 35 min it was cool to show my kids but to save pictures it would probably be easier to save a tardis png and paste it directly onto your own photos. Way too buggy. Cool idea if worked better.

Still crap it works with Samsung Galaxy S7, however when tardis materialises ya looking at the top of the bulb. Try cam out it disappears cause it's not in center. If this thing suppose to be a trick ain't u supposed to be able to go outside line up a photo and it lands in the photo. Tracking is way of thought u would have fixed it guess you CBA too.
