The Norwich: Heritage City app is designed to help you explore Norwich’s great heritage and hidden history. Find out about the Norwich 12 – Norwich’s iconic buildings spanning 1,000 years of history – and discover the city’s Cathedral Quarter, The Lanes – a beautiful historic area - unique places, history along the river Wensum and much more. If you are on iOS 5.1 on an iPhone 3GS, upgrade to 5.1.1 before installing this app. You can do this on your iPhone from the Settings app - it only takes a few minutes!

You can discover historic buildings and places from the map, around your current location, or just browse through the heritage as you wish. When you’re at one of the historic sites, you’ll be able to check-in to receive a badge – visit all the places in that group and you’ll get an extra theme badge! Don’t forget to share your badge awards via Facebook, Twitter or Foursquare.

Norwich: Heritage City is ideal for visitors to the city, as well as residents who wish to explore more of their hometown. Whether you use it on the go to discover heritage sites or as a planning tool for your trip to Norwich, the app will help you discover the city’s history and culture. Norwich also has many historical links with the Belgian city of Ghent, Norwich’s unofficial ‘sister’ city, and we’ve provided a taster of some of Ghent’s outstanding heritage sites.

Tips for use:

The Norwich: Heritage City app is suitable for iPhones running iOS 4.3, 5.1.1 or 6 on 4, 4S and 5 devices. If you are on iOS 5.1 on an iPhone 3GS, upgrade to 5.1.1 before installing this app. You can do this on your iPhone from the Settings app - it only takes a few minutes!

In order to provide detailed offline mapping for the app, there is a large initial download so you may wish to connect to a WiFi source for a speedy download. Further content updates are smaller in size.

Please note that continuous use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. If you have not used the app for 2 hours, the app will reduce GPS accuracy to save your battery. You can also turn off location services for the app within your phone’s Settings and Location Services.

Please note that GPS accuracy can be affected by tree cover, tall structures or within thick-walled buildings.

If you do not wish to receive alerts when near historic places, this can be turned off in the app settings.
