Discover Kew app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
First release : 20 Jan 2015
App size: 29.5 Mb
DISCOVER KEW reveals stories based on where you are in the Gardens and makes it easier to find your way around.
We’ve devised an app that helps you look closer at your surroundings and understand why plants matter.
When you use the app, we use location aware bluetooth sensors to identify where you are. This allows us to send you information based on what’s nearby and suggest specific plants, trees and buildings to look out for. The map shows your exact location with key attractions marked, to help you navigate through the Gardens and plan your day.
We’re adding more all the time, so be sure to give us feedback on what would interest you most.
You will need bluetooth or location settings switched on and access to wifi (there is some in the Gardens) or 3/4G for full functionality. Please connect to Kew-Visitors wifi once you are here.
