Must Have App!

George Walk on

It had a lot of information with excellent narration’s and an interactive 3D map with directions. We did the tour at our own pace and studied a lot about The Buddha and interesting stories about the Buddha. Definitely worth the price!

Go at own pace

OceanStateOfMind on

We’re very glad we got this app. It’s extremely convenient to be able to walk around at your own pace (do NOT get a local guide, lots of scam artists) and to use your own phone (you can return to the stories later on). However, it’s a big drain on your battery. I didn’t dock a star for that because there’s a lot of media (images, animations, audio) so I can understand why it uses a lot of power. I’m very pleased it works offline because we didn’t have an international data plan during our visit.

Absolutely worth the buy!

Careful Reviewer on

I have young kids and they fidget and scamper around when we have gone on guided tours. I miss much of the stories keeping them in check. The App was great. I was able to listen (and replay) as needed. There is a lot of good information in the App and it worked perfectly.

Very comprehensive. Everything is there !

Smart Dude61 on

My wife was very frustrated with the local guide and his negotiation. We downloaded this app and used it. We had used it at another temple and decided to try it here also. Great story. A lot of details ! Everything about the Emerald Buddha ... his birth, his travel, wars association with him, his three outfits etc.. It is such a large location. It is easy to miss something. The app gave us a route and we walked it fully. Nothing was missed out. I would like more stories of the inside room of the temple. A lot of pictures are on the wall. There is a whole story written in pictures but it is difficult to read it. That is my only feedback.

Glad I tried this!

I got this app when I was planning my trip and I wasn’t sure if I would use it or hire a local guide. After hearing the horror stories about those guides from other travelers, I’m happy I got this! The app has good narration and the actual stories and facts were quite interesting. I feel like I actually learned about things, rather than just looked at them. It also had a map and pictures/animations, which weren’t too useful to me, but may be to others.
