Vatican Museums guide

Good app with decent information about the various sections of the Vatican Museum. I especially enjoyed the parts about the Sistine Chapel. However, the developer needs to add a section in the apps description about the need to download additional data files after the app download and to do this while you’re still on Hotel WiFi. I bought the app while I was already in town and was under the impression that the 25MB app download included the media files. But after opening the app for the first time it wants to download an additional 130MB of data, which took almost 30 minutes over a LTE connection with multiple network time outs from the apps CDN. Without these additional files the app won’t work.

I’ve tried the picture recognition on dozens of pictures in the museum. None was recognized by the app. Total disappointment.

As an art history teacher who has done 8 trips through the Vatican with and without students , this is a great introduction to the basic Vatican museums . I would like to see the gallery photos expanded that you see by turning the device sideways , and wish all the numbers were video over voiced. I would love other museums and parts of the Vatican covered and st. Pete's , Fran Angelico's , St. Nicholas chapel, and the other museums , like the carriage museum covered as an add on to the one day tour shone . Also more info hot spots and perhaps a chronology of the Popes. thanks for a great education tool and an enjoyable afternoon re- living the Vatican tour with my daughter . I am giving this to my new chaperone as an intro.

I have just downloaded this app but unfortunately I can't understand anything as it is jerky and seems to be faulty.

Do not go to the Vatican's museums without seeing this app before. - Manuel Seda

Used this on a night time Vatican Museum tour and very satisfied with the information on the app. Highly recommended...sat down for an hour inside Sistine Chapel to marvel while listening to my iPhone narration.

Used this as I walked through the Vatican Museum and it was great. The level of detail was perfect. Highly recommend.

This app made our Vatican trip. We used a Y splitter with 2 pairs of headphones and walked the suggested route. I loved it. Made the day so memorable and interesting. Can't recommend this enough. Don't forget to buy your Vatican tickets online before you go. You will avoid the big line. If u leave the Sistine chapel by the right door you'll get to St. Peters without the need to get in line again.

Will somebody please tell me what to do? The ap looked awesome in the demo and got 5 stars from most reviewers but I get a message saying the ap was downloaded but will not play on this iphone. I have the latest iphone. Any help most appreciated.

Just returned from Rome. Rick Steves is good on other Rome highlights, but get this one for detailed guide on the best of the incredible Vatican Museum.
