Overall, it was a fun. However, none of the photo captures I took saved and only one video recorded. The video thing stayed active, even though I switched it off. Because it kept trying to run in the background, it ate through my battery super fast. Most of the augmented murals worked well, and they were fun to watch. The AR button on the map didn't work. App worked better when I turned off wi-fi. Considering the app is a few years old, they should have more of the kinks worked out.

Worst app ever! I love the idea of the art combined with music - it's brilliant! Next time pick a better app. Augle takes forever to load, if it loads at all, then doesn't stop playing even after repeatedly pushing the x. Have to close the program to make it stop. It's a battery hog - started out with a full charge and was down to 18% in one hour!

when working its a very cool tool. however, it didn't work majority of my experience. started with over 50% battery. first stop downloaded site specific data on the video tab of AR camera. overlay was glitchy and slow but neat once it loaded. next stop downloading took twice as long and battery dropped to 30% in moments, very slow to respond. this time once it was loaded the camera didn't need to be overlayed on exhibit. unfortunately, phone shutoff and refused to reboot until plugged in, indicating it had 25% battery still left. bummed out as a result of high expectations - but worth a try if you're there anyways, used @torontos 2021 exhibit with latest android OS. my friends failed to work at all.

Worked (sort of) on one of four devices we tried. Had to press the AR camera button many times before it would turn on, interface is non-intuitive with too many pages/screens about the exhibition before you can get to the key thing it's supposed to do. Then it started crashing repeatedly.

Can't figure this out at all. The tutorial is a joke. I hate when a tutorial says "Simply..." and you follow the direction but nothing happens so then you feel like an idiot because it's supposed to be so simple. Ugh.

It found the target, downloaded stuff and played music, but the screen was black. All three of us experienced the same non-augmented non-reality. Suggest you pull this app until it's fully baked.
