Download the recordings the same day that you go

Thought I was smart to download all of the recordings the night before we went to Pompeii, but they don’t seem to work after some period of time has elapsed. It would no longer recognize what I had already downloaded. And then, of course, it wasn’t possible to download 84mb in the middle of the archeology site. So it ended up being a major fail. I don’t know why you don’t get the entire download forever when you purchase each individual guide.

Just the guide we needed

We are just finishing up a two week trip to Italy and found this guide the most useful. It geo locates so you can figure out what you are looking at and how to get to what you want to see. The information shared adds to your experience. We ended up using it at the archeological museo nazionale in Naples over their audio guide the museum provided. Same with Pompeii. Also used it for the walk through Naples and it truly delivered. We saw more with this guide than we would have otherwise.

App appears to be unfinished

Only occasional features inside the Herculaneum have information in this app. While all the Roman buildings have numbers on them that presumably work with a rented audio guide gadget, this app doesn’t connect with these numbers. The descriptions against map features are all upside down. When Chinese Simplified language is selected, the Chinese text is garbled with strange nonexistent characters in between words.

Useless app

Absolutely useless app. The only good thing about it is good audio however you can’t listen to your audio guide without internet connection even if all files have been pre-downloaded previously. There is no WiFi in pompeii so unless you have good mobile coverage there is no point using this app
