  • In this article we explain, step by step, how to install the timeblend app on your device so you can start your interactive time journey right away.

    Step 1: Check the system requirements
    Before you begin, it is important to check whether your device supports AR (Augmented Reality). The app works on:

    • iOS devices (iPhone or iPad) with iOS 15 or higher.
    • Android devices that support ARCore (Android 9.0 or higher).

    Step 2: Download the app
    Open the store on your device and search for timeblend, or use the direct links below:

    • Go to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
    • Tap "Download" or "Install".
    • Wait for the installation to complete.

    Tip: make sure you are connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. The app contains high-quality 3D models and can be quite large on the first download.

    Step 3: Grant permissions
    When you open the app for the first time, you will be asked to allow access to your camera and location. This is necessary to place the AR objects correctly in your surroundings.

Known issues

We're actively improving the app and wanted to be upfront about a few things we're already aware of:

  • iOS notifications may be delayed by a few minutes on some devices. A fix is in progress.
  • Dark mode isn't fully supported yet in the settings menu — some screens may still appear in light mode.
  • Large file uploads (500MB+) can occasionally time out on slower connections.
  • Search results may not update instantly after adding new items; refreshing the page resolves this.
