It is not worth downloading. The map GPS was accurate and we could use the map to see our location as we walked. No problem there. The narration never worked properly, however. It started automatically as we approached the intended spots, but not once did the narration match the graves where we stood. We stood beside Mercer’s grave and listened to a paid tour that arrived after us. When I restarted the app after they left, the app talked about another site not even in section H. Despite the map indicator showing our location at JM’s family plot correctly. I tried manually searching for the correct sections, but the app overrides input and returns to what it wants. Also, the narration starts as if you are still driving in by giving road directions, but it’s too fast to be useful and completely unnecessary as you are already there. Since it’s labeled as a Welcome section, why would I need driving directions? It also assumes you stopped just inside the entrance by the building to start. We didn’t and neither did the other car trying to use this app at the parking lot by the river. Their app too did not work as intended. I bought this so we could tour the grounds slowly due to limited mobility. As someone with a decade of professional app development and testing experience, this is a waste. I would lose my current job if I put this out for the public. Anyone saying they love it needs to provide proof of actual practical use. What good is quality history narrative if it’s presented in such a way that you can’t access it in real time. I only gave one star because at least I could use it to find Johnny Mercer’s grave site on the map. So essentially I just paid a dollar a minute for use. Rip off. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-04-03, version 9.0.493* I’m not sure why there are so many bad reviews. The only thing I think could be improved are some of the directions. Overall it was really helpful and was great for the price! ### 1/5 — Poor app *2026-02-28, version 9.0.402* Thankfully this money goes to a good place but this is one of the worst apps I’ve ever paid for. You’ll spend more time trying to figure things out than appreciating the cemetery. Extremely poor design. ### 5/5 — A must have for a DIY Bonaventure Tour *2025-03-14, version 9.0.308* I gave this a 5 star to balance out some of the haters that might dissuade you from trying this. The GPS-aided map works fine to navigate you to all the must-sees and provided useful insights. Yes, it could be optimized as some reviews suggested, but it really works well and made our trip to Bonaventure a highlight of our Savannah vacation. I don’t regret not shelling out $36 a head instead for a one hour golf cart tour. We got to go at our own pace and saw everything up close and took great pictures. ### 1/5 — Flush $6 down the drain *2025-01-02, version 9.0.96* It would cost the same, be less frustrating, and take less time ### 5/5 — For what you get, it’s great! *2024-10-12, version 9.0.96* Considering that the proceeds benefit the Bonaventure Historical Society, and it allows you to do a very nice self-guided tour of the historical portion of the cemetery, I thought it was worth the $6. Purchased the app today, made sure to have everything downloaded, and then my family enjoyed traversing the cemetery, listening to the recordings for each included gravesite. I’d allow for couple hours to go through the whole tour provided by the app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-07-04, version 9.0.96* I downloaded because I wanted to enjoy a leisurely walk through the cemetery and learn while I did and I am with a lgroup of my children who I didn’t want to take an an expensive tour if they got bored. I got app several days ahead of time so I could cherry pick the places I would take them and it would never download the extra content. ### 2/5 — App needs updating and map hard to follow *2024-03-15, version 9.0.96* The app is in need of updating. The tour does not provide adequate guidance. The GPS is hard to follow. I ended up locking my screen and turning my phone to be able to follow the roads. Pricey for what you get. ### 2/5 — Awful app! *2024-03-05, version 9.0.96* Totally NOT intuitive. There’s no link between where you are and where you need to go. The available map has sites numbered, but the chapters are not numbered. So incredibly frustrating! A waste of money. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2024-02-01, version 9.0.52* Paid $6 and it didn’t work. The tour wouldn’t download within the app, across three different networks. Something wrong with app. ## Frequently asked questions about Bonaventure Cemetery Tours ### What is this app about?
