Yes using the ErfgoedApp is completely free, so you can always discover more information and stories at heritage sites. However, museums using the app may charge income to visit the exhibition or museum. The app also contains no advertisements.

The purpose of the ErfgoedApp is to provide you with more information and stories on location at heritage sites, for this you usually had to be at the site e.g. at the museum or at the historical site. Many features of the app only work on location. Some walks and bike tours can already be (partly) explored and discovered via the map in the app. 

Give the ErfgoedApp access to use your camera. 

Some Samsung S22, S23, S24 and A55 use a proprietary custom graphics card that is not compatible with the ErfgoedApp. To our regret, these devices cannot scan with the ErfgoedApp. We are working with Samsung to find the problem and hope it can be fixed via an update.

The ErfgoedApp respects the privacy of its users. To use localization, bluetooth and camera, the app always requests access. It is important for the proper functioning of the app that you give that permission. The only data the ErfgoedApp keeps is the number of times a tour has been started and how many times a story has been opened. The ErfgoedApp never asks for personal data and thus cannot link the use of the app to a person. The app also does not contain any ads, external statistics that could violate your privacy.
