OS 3D mapping app - has anyone used it?

I was at some walker's web site somewhere and saw an advert for this. I looks pretty cool for someone who is going to do multiple walks all over England without knowing anything about the areas I'm going to. If anyone has used it I'd love to hear your opinion.

If I had to pick one or the other, I would stay with the OS Explorer topographics (1:25000), preferably printed on the water resistant material, for feet on the ground navigation. You would need a waterproof device to view the 3D "app". And even if you get the water resistant maps, a watertight map case is a good idea. The 3D map app looks useful for trip selection and planning if you are not comfortable interpreting a topographic map.
