Incredible in many ways. Content, design, and planning have combined to make an experience that may eventually come close to seeing the exhibition live. The current version has a persistent jitter on my phone, unfortunately, that makes it hard to stick with the objects one can view. If this issue is fixed, I expect my rating will climb higher!

I don't often buy apps, as there's lots of free ones out there, I don't often review things, as people can usually make their own minds up........ but this app is absolutely brilliant, it's based on the David Bowie exhibition at the V&A , it's 3d and very interactive, the narration is great and informative, by Gary Oldman. The soundtrack is obviously brilliant, it full of documents, documentaries, performances, snippets, interviews, pictures, drawings all of which you can explore. Love it.

Simply incredible. I never managed to get a ticket to the V&A show, but took my dad to the cinema 'walk around' at the Curzon Soho a while afterwards. As a lifelong Bowie fan, and big advocate of augmented reality, this app is a beautiful, meticulously put-together immersive experience of the Bowie is..show and a truly deserving tribute to the Starman. This is what your smartphone was made for.

Took a frustrating minute to get the hang of AR...but when I did...wow. Love the ability to zoom in on details. Notice the back cover artwork of Space Oddity. The Pierrot and his mom are there in the lower left corner, and then they resurface in Ashes to Ashes 21 years later. I wonder what that meant to him? A new discovery for me! I wish I could've seen the exhibit. Nothing will replace the reality of all encompassing experience. But this is excellent.

Very disappointing. App just doesn't work with Huawei P20 Pro. Have to do a force stop for the camera access to register, but no matter what type of "brightly lit" non-reflective surface I waft the camera over I get nothing. I tried rebooting phone, uninstalling/reinstalling app, but can't get past the black calibration screen.

I am thoroughly disappointed. I've waited so many months for this. it's his Birthday, well, it was. I gathered friends around, after paying, and it doesn't work at all. I've read all the other complaints and none of the given solutions work. This ruined my special day. it still doesn't work and I have a nice Samsung Galaxy S7. I've tried all sorts of lighting and surfaces etc. I'm not happy.
