  1. 5/5Useful on my trip to Pompeii

    Went to Pompeii a few days back, and while planning I came across this app. I was searching for places to go and to get some background info on Pompeii and its landmarks. This app really helped me to make me more informed when I visited Pompeii and it really showed me the best places to go. It has an interactive map and many different audio clips you can listen to telling about the different landmarks. It’s easy to navigate the app and it helped me choose the most interesting places to visit. I really recommend this app to people who plan on visiting Pompeii!

  2. 1/5Don’t buy

    Went to Pompeii and was frustrated with the free app. We made it all the way to Pompeii and regretted not getting a guide, so I thought this app would be better. You buy it for $4 and the app is completely useless unless you buy a guide once inside the app. Then the guide might be useful if it detected where you were with the gps. But it gets stuck on one location and to find where you are at you have to search and match up the Italian names in Pompeii to the English names in the app. So frustrated that I was spending more time looking on my screen messing with this app instead of exploring with my own eyes what was around me. I just gave up on it. Waste of money.

  3. 5/5Great app

    Worked great offline on my trip. I used it as a supplement to my in-person guide and for wandering by myself after. Sometimes the GPS will get stuck but you can fix it by restarting the app. One suggestion would be to add the Italian place names in parentheses so it’s easier to match them to the signage.

  4. 2/5Not Awesome

    This app should be getting a high rating, but the buggy GPS functionality is incredibly aggravating. Out of the 30 or so sites we visited within Pompeii, only twice did the GPS keep working as we starts walking to the next location. Every other time the arrow would freeze in your last location, requiring you force-quit and restart the app in order to get your location working again. It also stopped working any time you’d either listen to an audio segment or switch over to another app (like taking a photo, which I of course wanted to do repeatedly). After force-quitting and restarting the app countless times I was ready to throw the app out the window. Particularly because I paid for their premium access. I liked the audio content, but it was such a pain to use navigationally that I just can’t recommend the app until they’ve fixed this major issue.

  5. 4/5Really useful

    Outstanding information presented directly. Able to switch apps (like the camera) and still able to listen to the narration. I will probably listen to the narration for all the sites that I did not get to see. One star off though for poor geolocation. The app would show where we were when we started the app, but would not track through the site unless we completely closed out of the app and restarted it.
