COSMOTE CHRONOS

Great idea with cool images but ultimately VERY annoying to use. Example, you have to find the information sign for the building first before it will launch the AR images. You switch to take a photo and the app needs to restart and you have to go back to the sign to get the app to work again. Plus ot takes forever to load

I was super excited to try this out with my family while visiting the Acropolis. Also, very cool that it is free. Unfortunately, it was not very useful. If you flip between apps, the chronos app has to totally restart. So, if I navigated away to take a picture, I had to wait for the app to reboot to use it again. The generated scenes were cool but limited, they only worked if you stood in a specific point and scanned the info signs. I spent most of my time waiting for the app to boot up and drained most of the data on my international plan. I only successfully used it at one location.

This app is a wonderful gift to everyone with an interest in Greek antiquity and classical architecture. Although I haven’t yet had the thrill of actually visiting the Acropolis, I’ve enjoyed using the app in North America.I have two suggestions for improvements. Add control of the vertical angle of view to the navigation. Make it possible to take screen shots without the overlay of control icons. Thanks for making this app available for free.
