Waste of time, battery.
I downloaded this official App while standing in line for tickets at Pompeii, refusing to believe how an Official App could be as bad as the reviews. Trust me, it is That Bad! Despite much efforts, this App offered nothing but waste of precious time. Zero useful information were obtained.
Poor app
Poor app ever. I downloaded the audio app and also the images, but the park had a poor signal, so the app kept showing errors and did not allow me to enter. Pls booked the tickets w the tour guide, the experience without guide wasn't that good
Frustratingly bad
Does not work. If you get it to open it continuously crashes. I was able to open the app when on stable Wi-Fi in my hotel and it is good (although needs information on the free bus service). It seems the app requires a stable internet connection to work which does not make sense given the archeological site is known to have poor 4G coverage. This is disappointing as once you’re in the archeological site there is very little information provided for tourists. Hordes of people just wandering aimlessly chancing upon the spectacular ruins this site offers and once they’ve found these sites they are offered very little to no information. This app is a necessity. App developers - for goodness sake build an app that works when deployed on the site it is intended to be used.

Absolutely useless!
I apologise is advance as I like to see the best in things. This app is an exception.
Nothing worked, totally frustrating and deleted the app. Hopefully an App Development Manager will look into why there are so many 1 star reviews.
My only question is, “was this app developed as a high school project?”

Don’t rely on this app for your visit
This app is painfully slow. Every time you switch out to take a photo and go back to the app, it has to reload from the start. The audio guide info is ok, but this is clearly just portions of the full audio guide—many places in the park had audioguide labels that would work with the rented audio guides, but there is no entry on this app. If you are making a long awaited visit to Pompeii, invest in a tour guide or the audio guides you can rent on site.

Don’t bother with this app
Unusably slow (iPhone 13 pro) and kept reverting to Italian even after being set to English and initially loading in English.
I found OSM (organic maps app lets you star places to visit and has Wikipedia links) + paper site map (free inside just after entry) + PDF guide book (free download on official site) to work pretty well

Needs work
It’s just about better than nothing but has a couple of issues that need addressing. I ended up getting so frustrated with it I stopped bothering after the first few points of interest.
So very very slow. Why does it take so long to do anything at all? Even after downloading the guide for offline use it’s still incredibly slow.
The audio won’t run in the background, so as soon as your screen auto locks the audio stops which is kinda annoying.

Terrible app
Needs a lot of improvements.
Do not waste your time downloading
Only works with data and there are no service in most of the site and wifi only close to the entrance. It won’t work proper,y with only one bar of signal. I stopped using midway as it was totally ruining my visit. Get a private guide.
Useless
Don’t even bother. Doesn’t work at all, super slow.
