Near miss

Could have been good if the buy link actually worked, as it was it just wasted a lot of my time.

Sounds good but…

On site it fails in many ways even though I paid for the full version. You need the sat Nav to tell you where you are to find which audio to use. In Pompeii coverage is very poor so you’ll need to close and refresh the app to find out where you are, All the signage in Pompeii uses the Italian names but this menu of contents is in English making searching a guessing game. Worst of all the Audio simply describes what you see and gives almost no information beyond what you can learn from simply looking. The written info was not accessible on the full version. The only use I found in practice was to find the toilets quickly which I believe is available on the free version. Advice to the makers ..add the house numbers to the map !

Free trial did not persuade me to buy

I tried the free trial, and it seemed to be a map only with no pictures to help guide me. Also doesn’t seem to have an option to build your itinerary. Not what I needed - or, if there is more, this should be made obvious in the free trial section.

Content is dry and have to pay

I read the other reviews that mentioned having to pay once you got to the site to unlock the content, so I was prepared for that (despite it not being advertised). The content is dull and repetitive, talking a lot about architectural styles which whilst important was not what I wanted to learn about. It would have been better to know about the communities, how they lived and what life was like. The only upside is that the audio is clear and the women speaking is easy to understand.

Interesting commentary but poor app

the stories at each location are well thought out and interesting but ……. - I downloaded the free version thinking it would be enough - only when you are onsite and start playing do you realise the limitations - then you have to pay for the app - the signal was so bad I really struggled to do it - the gps didn’t function in the app - it thought I never left the amphitheater all day which rendered the map useless - so you can only use the app then by searching by building and then you hit the next problem - outside each building is a sign - that sign is only in Italian - you must make an exact translation of that name in English for you to be able to find it in the app. That’s fine for ‘casa de’ but i was stumped on many of them It turned out to be the most frustrating app I have ever used and I wish I had stuck with the official one

App just doesn’t work at the site?

App was glitchy and kept crashing. The locater arrow was never in the right place on the map so you were constantly getting confused you can’t rotate the map either and if you zoom in and out too much it crashes! Don’t buy it

Pompeii July 2022

This App does not work unless you have permanent and good gps access. Theoretically I do but most of the time it cut out so was next to useless It was a waste of money The narrator has the weirdest accent and is not agreeable to listen to

Rubbish

The app does not work offline which it clearly stated it did with the in-app £5.99 purchase.

OK App, things that need to improve…

Content problems: The information is a bit repetitive and often not *super* interesting (i.e. the location of the exhibit, you are already probably there; the style of the decoration etc) No indication as to which places were recommended to go to Some places not on the map, even though when there they have pretty big exhibits. All the names in the app are translated to english, when you’re there they are all in Italian, should have both. App problems: when returning the app the screen is white and the app needs to be restarted. GPS indicator is very slow, rarely correct (google maps at the same time was fine) I would recommend just getting a tour guide, especially if you are on a tight time scale. We had a whole day, so figured it out, I do feel that there must be better apps but maybe not, this did help a bit on the day.

Better than at the site

Excellent!! Way better than the audio guides at the site: I purchased 3 and 2 didn’t work. This was cheaper and much more user friendly. Do yourself a favor and get this guide before you visit!
