Comments on Historic Scotland for Android

★★★★☆ A Google User · Jun 3, 2014

Lovely wee app Great for checking out some lovely places. Would be nice to have a little checklist to check off where you have been

★★★★★ martin Clift · Sep 15, 2022

Great app for historic Scotland, join and see lots of castles, Abby's and historical sites. If you have the time they have the history.

★★★★★ A Google User · Jun 2, 2014

Brilliant I am half scottish half Irish this is a great wee app.

★☆☆☆☆ Matt Roberts · May 26, 2019

Pretty, but without a reliable 'near me' (it worked once in a dozen attempts, including no luck after reinstall or removing and adding location position - Galaxy Note 9, fully updated). Also, the find by region really needs a map, I've no clue what is included where, but I mostly know where I am. Had to rely on Google Maps zooming in looking for HS icons. Not great.

★☆☆☆☆ Andrew Bunning · Oct 18, 2017

Too many sites missing making the app pointless. Just use their website (but call ahead to ensure places are actually open at the times stated!).

★★☆☆☆ guy satchwell · Jan 20, 2019

No autorotate. Only one pic per location. Map opens in landscape in a fixed portrait window! No member area to 'keep'. Membership card. Some locations have no pictures just a kiddie video!
