Comments on What Was Here? for Android

★★★★★ Rachel Mills · Sep 20, 2020

Like a Tardies in your pocket! Follow trails around the local area and be transported back to that very spot in the past. Great way to add interest to walks and an excellent educational tool. The app also allows you to explore archival content whilst at home via an intuitive map search feature- it doubles as a great rainy day activity too. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in history or who wants to get out and explore!

Is this app still supported? Photos don't open, trails give an error message. Navigation buttons hidden behind phone buttons at top and bottom of screen. Android V16,One UI V8.

★☆☆☆☆ Jef Holdsworth · Apr 8, 2026

The app loads, but doesn't work (Android 16, Pixel 7a). Pictures claim to download, very slowly, maps don't appear and give a glaring connection timeout message. No pictures when selected. Complete waste of time and space. Is it even supported anymore?
