### 1/5 — Rome Pantheon

*2026-07-20*

Audio Guides were very low quality and took a long time to download. Should have informed us we could have done it before we went, or while we were standing in the so called Fast Track that took twenty minutes. Disappointed. Poor use of technology

### 2/5 — Good explanations for Pompeii but really bad app

*2026-06-18*

NOT recommended. This app gives good explanations of the sights at Pompeii and has a good map of all the sights and highlights. What sucks though is that every time you move away to another app (say Google maps for directions) the app defaults to the home screen, which means you have to find your specific guide again, go to it’s start screen, then open the map and navigate to the sight that you want an explanation of.
If you are offline, you can add 20 seconds to that process while the app tries to open all possible guides it offers and can’t do it. You can download the Pompeii guide for offline use and you can access it offline, but every time you go through this startup process again. VERY frustrating and so I cannot recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Download the recordings the same day that you go

*2026-05-19*

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.

### 5/5 — Just the guide we needed

*2026-03-31*

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.

### 2/5 — App appears to be unfinished

*2026-03-18*

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.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2025-10-18*

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

### 1/5 — Unübersichtlich

*2025-09-01*

Unübersichtlich

### 1/5 — Sehr dünne Infos

*2025-05-27*

Audio-Infos sehr oberflächlich und von viel zu wenigen Monumenten.

### 1/5 — Pantheon Audio guide

*2025-01-02*

The audio app was not working and I was not being helped . Very poor…. Will never buy again from this company.

### 1/5 — Naja

*2024-11-04*

Der Guide an sich war ganz alright, aber die App ist eine absolute Katastrophe. Usability 0/5. Man findet sich überhaupt nicht zurecht.
Ich hatte außerdem Kontakt mit dem Support für meinen Guide, da es ein Problem mit dem Einlösen hab, der war auch gar nicht hilfreich.
