Comments on Explore Maeshowe for Android

★★★★★ Paul Bell · Jul 3, 2017

This has given me the passion to visit.

★★★★★ Dave K · Jul 1, 2017

Very interesting and gives an immersive experience. Big download. Best viewed on a bigger screen, e.g. Chromebook.

★☆☆☆☆ Benlor · Apr 17, 2026

I think this would be good but I just can't hear the commentary for the loud annoying music. Why do we need loud music on this sort of thing?

★☆☆☆☆ Ken Barsotti · Nov 13, 2017

Will not run on either my phone or my tablet. Seems to install but when I click on the icon all I get is a picture with a big green circle in the middle. Uninstalled.

I get a message, your hardware does not support this application, whatever that means !!?
