Doctor Who AR Tardis
Please note: that in order for the app to work the user must select a detailed trigger image for the Tardis to materialise upon. A newspaper, magazine, or poster placed upon a flat surface works best. A tailor made trigger image can also be downloaded and printed directly from our website:

Point your device directly above the target for best results. Once the Tardis begins to materialise you may have to pull your device back slightly to gain a full view of the object.
This app was made for fans of Doctor Who, however we welcome feedback from all users on your experience and how we can potentially improve this app.

Not quite there yet. Can't get it to work right, I pull back from the target and it keeps resetting the Tardis warp. I aim at a straight object and I get to see just the roof. What I would like this app to do is appear on my camera screen so I can snap some pictures. That would do. Used LG K10.
I'm a total whovian. And download every app. But I'm just mommy's 10 year old girl, and I love doctor who as much as any other gifted 5th grader whovian stud. in my class and love this app. And you shouldn't say stuff like it's sh*ty or cr** cause my 6 year old best friend reads all the comments even if he's not getting it
This is a great idea but I can't for the life of me get it to work. I like the idea so much I am keeping it to persevere with it. However it does not respond to my phone auto rotate function and as a result the way I actually need to use my camera is back to front maybe an update of this and I would have more success
For all the people i have figure out to not see just the top. Get like a detailed poster and lay it flat. The take the picture and hod it there where you only see the top. Then wait for it to demeterialize then step back a bit but keep the camera aimed at the pic. Then when it materializes again u can look at it 360.... Plz rate if this is helpful
I love this app! In order for it to work properly, you have to keep the phone still and parallel to your reference photo thing during the time vortex animation. Then, once the TARDIS has materialized, slowly move backwards so you can see the entire TARDIS.
A lot of people are saying it doesn't work, or that only the roof is shown. I'm using the app on a Samsung Tab 3, 7 inch, and it works perfectly. Either the app has been updated or it just doesn't like some other devices.
Does not work at all on the Xperia Z. Take a picture, hear the music and nothing. When exiting the program, the picture pops up for half a second.
Works well if you like the roof of the TARDIS. Move too fast and it goes away. Also hard sets the rotation to be upsidedown on my phone. Fix all the things and it might be worth it. Running nexus 4 with kk 4.4.2
Installed on SGS & SGS2 but neither allows me to take a picture & see it in gallery nor upload to facebook. Needs an option to turn off vortex of Tardis landing. Better explanation on proper usage might stop the negative comments & ratings. Apart from that out works great.
Tried to use but all I could see was the roof of the TARDIS. Kind of managed to get it to work by pointing the phone down towards my lap but the TARDIS kept falling over when I moved the phone. I hope this app gets fixed because it looks fun.
Once you get it figure out it works great. For practice I put electrical tape on a white frisbee. You can walk around as much as you want.
This is worse app I've ever downloaded the tardis always ends up on its.top.bag.of craps don't download
Only get the light on the top of tardis tryed on note 3 and galaxy ace 2. What a waste of time....
It doesn't work, I do what the instructions say but it only shows me the Tardis lamp at the top. If I try to move are and see the whole Tardis it's starts over.
When i take picture and the tardis appears all i see is the light on top. I try to move it to see the tardis but then it goes away. Not what i was expecting and very disappointed.
It good and all but when I try to just put in my house it goes on the wall and when I pointed it on the floor it did the sane thing and I made my friend stand next to it it went green and it was still on the wall i give 5 stars if fix plz
All you idiots only seeing the Tardis roof READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. However could do with some tweaking as its very temperamental just the slightest quick movement or someone walking into the area in front of you and the image disappears. Make it easier to keep the image of the Tardis and you've got 5 stars.
Very buggy, doesn't work correctly no matter what I do. Still keeping it installed on the off chance that I get it to work and then I'll send the image to my gf so she can think it's real.
Take the picture, hear the music and see a black screen. Did see a very faint spinning tardis once, otherwise, very poor app. Uninstalled.
It does not work if you take a normal picture of say a poster on the wall, when you do this the tardis comes up sideways on the wall, and the tardis is way to small, make it bigger! Also when you finally get a good one, you have to back up slowly to see it 3D, but tardis dissapears when trying to back up, major bug issues
Like most of the Galaxy s3 users i'm seeing i'm having the same issue with seeing the Tardis flying but not in the image.
When I open it, it shows the screen showing you how to do it, and it freezes meaning you cant click on the start button
All I see is the top of the TARDIS after it lands. Can't get it to land like it should.
I don't know if it just happens to me but It only shows the top of the tardis and when I move it just disappears
When you going to the time vortex slowly pull your phone up and then as it materializes, move very slowly backwards.
Needs a bit of work. The TARDIS that appears only lasts about 4 seconds, please make it longer. And to the people that complain that it only shows the roof, move your phone or tablet so it can see the whole TARDIS.
I'm using the Nexus 7 2013 tablet and all I see is the roof of the TARDIS then it resets.
It is a great idea but it's too tricky, adjust the movements, maybe make a freeze mode where if you press the camera button it will freeze and let the tardis materialize. And have it to where you can just aim like a normal image such as a hill and watch it materialize, then be able to look at it without your phone messing it up, such as disabling your axis.
