English Heritage Days Out

★★★★★ The recent reviews on this app are not reflective of my experience. Easy download, immediate booking of available site visit & confirmation - all in about 5 mins. Suggest negative reviews may be user error or device incompatibility issues. Overall no issues for me. Looking forward to my visit.

★★★★★ Works fine for me. Gives me a list or a map of nearby properties. Gives a couple of pictures and the opening times of a property when selected. Not sure what provokes such a low rating.

★★★★★ Essential addition for anyone visiting an English Heritage site. Could use a little checkbox, so you can tick off where you've been and membership on the app, so you don't need to carry your card around.

★★☆☆☆ I've lost my membership card for 2020/2021, so looked at this app as I thought a great use of an app would be for virtual membership cards. Think how much money would be saved printing cards who wanted to use the app, and how much waste plastic would be saved each year when throwing the old cards away. What did I get? An app which, as a member, I can't even log into, to view membership details, let alone see a membership card. I viewed a site near me (Kenilworth Castle). On the page, there's a single photo, a very short summary of the castle, the address and 6 buttons. Of the button, 3 of them ('Join Now', Events and 'Learn More on our website' needed me to open my browser to continue. So, I have to ask myself, what is the point of this app? Did EH actually ask members what they'd like to see in an app, or did they just sit around a table and guess? Anyway, I see very little use for it - the website gives much more, so it's uninstall time for now - and a phone call to get some more plastic sent to me through the post. Yay 🤨

★★☆☆☆ Based on the fact it's not been updated since 2021, it does not work properly on Android 13 and says it's unsupported on Android 14. On A13 after first use, Near Me feature fails to work/update based on location. Map fails to redraw properly, and you have to toggle buttons to force it to redraw, very buggy. On A14 Google Play Store reports this app isn't supported on the newer Android 14 O/S. It's pretty useless. Come on English Heritage update the app!!
