駄目だこりゃ

iPhone4で利用してますが、画像のアラが目立ちます。 アングルなどは素晴らしいので、高精細な写真で見たかった。 ズームなどもできないし、iPhoneの壁紙に転用することも出来ない。 この内容なら定価600円は高すぎでしょう。サービス価格の350円でもガッカリ感が大きいです。

使いやすくなりました

ipod touch iOS4ですが、ギャラリーを40枚ぐらいめくった所で必ず落ちます。私は現場に行けないのでipod上で楽しむ為に買ったので、位置情報使う系統の機能は使えず、ギャラリーしか見るものがないんですが、それが落ちるとあっては出来ることがありません。早急なバージョンアップでの改善を希望します。 コンセプト自体はとてもいいと思えます。私は現地に行けませんが、旅行される方には便利だと思います。もし写真ごとに軽い案内文が付いていれば、現地でガイド代わりになりますね。今大規模修理中ですし以前の写真と比べたら楽しいでしょう。 写真はとても綺麗。ただ、めくっていく以外に進む方法は無いんでしょうか?後ろの方を簡単に見れるよう、目次があったらいいと思います。 かなり姫路城に詳しい撮影者のようでしたので、個人的には、よくある写真集で見れるような城外観だけでなく、むしろ城内部、廊下や部屋などの写真を期待していたのですが、載っているのでしょうか…。最後のページまで落ちずに辿りつけないからわかりません! 追記:アップデートで、落ちなくなりました!修正ありがとうございました!☆追加します!意見に熱心に対応してくださる姿勢に感動しました。 室内写真はそれほど多く無かったのは残念ですが、それでも多彩な場所とアングルがあって雰囲気にひたれました。ギャラリー中の目次や説明文も有難いです。今後のアップデートで、さらに写真追加などがあったら嬉しいです。

A boring guide without providing any information

First of all, this is supposed to serve as a guide, but it doesnt offer any actual information about where you are. You are paying for a guide without information! If the developers paid for one actual tour with a guide and took notes along the way, they could have included information very easily. If that was too difficult for them, they could have at least ripped off or provided links to Wikipedia from various points. At the very least, they could have written basic information that is written on signs around the castle grounds for users to read at their leisure. Second, the apps pictures made slightly more sense when the castle was covered for six years, but now it is open and visible, a visitor doesnt have to look at their app to see what the castle should look like. The sad truth is that my pictures turned out better than the apps "castle photographers" pictures after walking around for a day. Finally, if you want to look at pictures and their locations, just use google maps or something. There are free apps out there that do the same thing as this app in its current no-information state.
