Boring

Facts about the graves are pretty dull, they have a tour service there that seemed more interactive

Poorly executed app

This app is very poorly designed. For example, there is a map with numbers, but no key, and the list of plots is not numbered. The directions are confusing. You cannot change the order of the tour. A complete waste of time and money. Don’t bother.

Not so great

This app was incredibly frustrating. It assumes you are beginning near the museum at the entrance. If you aren’t you end up backtracking to find the first site. The directions aren’t always clear, narration begins when you aren’t yet at the site. If the app could find my location, why can’t it find where I am when I’m first starting and begin my tour from my location? The narration that we managed to get in the right place was very informative. Definitely cheaper than paying for a tour, and the money goes to help keep the cemetery up but, the app needs some refinement to be really useful.

Disappointed

Could be so much better and useful by simply numbering the names on the list to correspond with the points on the map so you can figure out where you are!

Needs improvements

This app had some good information but the gps location on it wasn’t very good. We had info playing for a gravesite several yards away. It got rather confusing. I think we would have preferred something that gave better verbal directions in the narration. Not really worth the money; and because the cemetery itself is a bit confusing, I would recommend getting a real tour if you are looking for something other than just a nice walk and photos.

very confusing. Could not follow

This app did not work very well in terms of guiding you around the cemetery. The map included in the app did not list the Lot or Section letters so, unless you could figure out which street you were on (and there were few street signs), it was difficult to follow. Furthermore, the audio was interesting but they should have put a corresponding site number next to the audio so you could find it.

A paper map would probably have worked better. We didn't do a tour or stop at the visitor center because it was raining.

Listen to the beginning before you go

Overall, once we got oriented with our surroundings the app was great. One thing I wish we would have done was start listening to it before you get there. They give directions on where to park and where to enter the cemetery, which then leads you on your walk to the historic site.

Informative and interesting

The app is very well worth the price and easy enough to navigate. It gives you cool little knowledge on important people in the cemetery and gives you a little more knowledge into the history of Savannah. We found it fun using the pictures and descriptions to find the gravestones. Great app makes exploring the graveyard more fun.

Really confusing

It was really hard to follow the directions for this tour. We couldn’t find anything past step 3. Just pay a little extra for a guided tour by a physical tour guide and avoid this hassle.

Little pricey but cheaper than a tour

It’s a lot cheaper than a tour and had great information and fun facts that many of the other tours I’ve been on never mentioned. The person that mentioned it was narrow minded clearly didn’t go to the Jewish ones on the map because they were ones on there. “It’s rich white people” I don’t see how the tour guides could help that and the cemetery started from a group of rich white families in the 1800s, I’m not sure what diversity you expected to see. Anyways, I really enjoyed the different voices that told the stories as well. It’s not super accurate on the map locations but the voices tell you where to go next and with the names on all the plots it’s impossible not to find and gave us a game to find the next one so it wasn’t that difficult, people complaining are being a little ridiculous it’s not like it has to be there or it won’t play...
