Description

The official 9/11 Memorial application has been created by the National September 11 Memorial & Museum as a guide to understanding 9/11 through the eyes of who witnessed the events. Given the sensitivity surrounding the events of 9/11, viewer discretion is advised.

The app has three features:

Tour
A seven-stop walking tour of the area around the World Trade Center, accompanied by audio and photo narration. The events of the day and its aftermath are told by first responders, rescue workers, volunteers, and those who lived and worked in Lower Manhattan on 9/11. While the walking tour takes place in Lower Manhattan, the tour content is accessible to users anywhere.

Explore
View images related to the events of 9/11 and their aftermath taken nearby wherever you are. Photos may be viewed in Augmented Reality-technology mode which overlays images on the camera view. All photos were contributed to the museum by survivors and witnesses through 911history.org.

Timeline
An interactive timeline of the days events and aftermath. Includes links to witness photos taken during these time blocks.

The app can operate in an offline mode for non-U.S. visitors who have disabled data roaming. In this mode, all tour content is still accessible. The app includes a map of free WiFi hotspots near the tour route for downloading Explore photos from the vicinity.

Five stars, Ten years (5 stars)
Five stars for the app, ten years for that day. I was too young to remember that day but the app helps me understand that 9/11 is still in my heart.
P/S: I have just downloaded a little game "Ah! save me: 911". Try it. May be it is made to mark that day.

Great app, very moving! (5 stars)
To all the MORONS who want to spread their conspiracy theories, WTC7 WASN'T part of the attack, it was collateral damage when the towers fell, THAT'S why it's not on this APP. this app was made as a reminder and also a tour guide FOR WHEN YOUR AT THE MEMORIAL!!! If you actually use half your brain and put the conspiracy theories away you would have heard the woman say that!

9-11...I'll always remember (5 stars)
I love the app. This was such a tragic thing that happened. But I will remember all of the people who died, not on accident or was murdered, but died out of choice. And all those who went up in the WTC towers and not down. I will remember all those who died helping, all those in flight 93, 11, 175, 77 and the ones who died in the Pentagon. I will remember EVERYONE who died in the WTC collapses. I'll always remember and never forget.....
