Venice Travel Guide

Low raters of this app have some valid points but actually it is really excellent. It contains dozens of ‘points of interest’ icons which provide quite extensive descriptions and with automated voice readings which is a nice feature. The photography is exceptionally good. You won’t find better anywhere. There are many other icons for eating places, hotels, boat services etc., but no banks, and no information other than the name. There are no street names on the map but anyone who’s tried to find their way around a city like this by street names knows it’s not much fun. The map colours make it probably the easiest to see in daylight. It’s a bitmap map though rather than a vector line map which is a shame. There’s no excuse for this but it works well enough. There’s quite extensive information on restaurants and shopping but no way to find anything on the map. There is no search facility at all. The strangest part of the app though is the tours booking service. Again, an extensive selection of guided tours which are bookable from the app. It could be excellent but there’s no information at all about the vendors. Closer inspection reveals that it’s through Viator but you have to give credit card details to find out more. I don’t think it’s overpriced for what it does well but it could and should be better.

Automatic prompts to give them money as soon as the free app opens

Ended up paying for this whilst trying to close app. Once I paid its functionality was garbage or it crashed. Save yourself the money and pick up free map in Venice.

Purchased the Venice map and its not usable, you can't zoom in close enough to be able to navigate, the "Venice in X days" plan don't include advice of how to move between locations. Not useful as a guide at all, not recommended

A con, no zoom, hopeless map. Should be removed from Apple

All I got was a blank screen. (It could be a map for use at night)

I was looking forward to using this app but as the title indicates, all it does is lock up at the get go and is unresponsive. Waste of time and data-

This app really helped me to understand the lay of the land in Venice and provided essential info for preparing for my trip heading to a complicated place!

I have downloaded this app just before my trip to Italy. We landed in Rome and went straight to Venice. I was pretty lost at the beginning as I didnt know you could not get into downtown driving so I decided to use this venice travel guide to help me find the main attractions I wanted to see. I am really happy with the performance of the app and I took advantage to also book a vip dinner with my wife after a gondola ride. This city is amazing, if you havent visited yet, you should put it in your bucket's list.

This is my third trip to Venice and this guide made my life easier. I took the tour to Murano and it was the first time for my wife there, we loved it. The guide has all you need at no price. Really like the design and the ability to be able to navigate offline specially while using the maps. I recommend this travel guide if its your first time in the city or even if you already know the city.
