Doesnt even work

It doesnt play the audio when you go to the different areas and it the locations are not accurate at all

Works in 2026

I’m using the latest iOS and it works for me. I did have to restart once at checkpoint 3 for the regular route. Swipe up the app to close and then reopen and click your route and it should start.

The audio itself was ok. Not the best audio guide app I’ve seen in Italy. That goes to the Museo Galileo in Florence. Both the devs and historians contributing to this app could learn from them as to how to improve their guide.

GREATEST APP OF ALL TIME

This app is the greatest piece of literature since Mathew mark Luke and John wrote the New Testament for the bible. It is subliminally perplexing that an app this good could possible be written by a soul from this world. The only logical explanation to this paradox was that the app was written by the goddess of wisdom Athena herself. When I stepped into the rocky remains of the colosseum I can confirm the ancient Roman ruins are in fact ruined. However, the app injected a fiery life into the despairing dilapidated blocks. The app is a greater attraction than the colosseum and should become the 8th wonder of the world. Forget any other attraction in Rome. GET THIS APP.

THIS APP CHANGED MY LIFE

This app completely reformed my personal ideologies about Rome, the Roman Empire and history itself! It’s as if Poseidon himself was whispering the purest wisdom into my ears as i walked around this temple, nay, cathedral of captivation. Despite stepping in the footsteps of the empires before me- the mystification of the colosseum is NOTHING compared to this app. If you do anything before you die- it is to download this app and let the Gods from Sparta to Rome speak to you through this transient vessel.

I wish i could give infinite stars like the infinite exuberance and erudition this application gave me.

Why use someone that can’t pronounce English words??

Dreadful English guide. Sometimes works. But the guide has a terrible grasp of the English language.

Sneaky downloads!!!

Visitors: make sure you don’t only download the app but you also download the audio files before going to the colosseum (WiFi does not work).

Developers: please prioritize being able to download the audio files before the location services on the maps. It’s pointless if the audio files don’t work.

Poor experience

For as much money as they make you think they would be able to figure out technology. The app doesn’t work despite downloading multiple times. Hire new tech people.

Very poor

Others have talked about the poor design, I’ll focus on the content.

The Colosseum is one of the most extraordinary sites in the world with incredible architecture and social history - and extensive ethical issues to consider.

In the app none of this is explored or expressed in a meaningful or memorable way.

Instead a list of dates, names and measurements that conjure none of the drama, murder, tragedy, heroics or beauty of this incredible place.

The uninspiring orator had a poor English speaking voice that required concentration to listen to in a busy location. Making this app both exhausting and unenjoyable.

No Audio Service

Rude person at Colosseo said to download app for audio tour that didn't work but don't care because the site is just an overcrowded toilet.

Poor experience.

English version is an earsore. The developers should have asked a native speaker to read the text. The English text itself is dry and lacks Italian flavour. Pure facts and too much information packed in a 3 min audio track.
User experience leaves much to be desired. And you better download all the audio files beforehand.

Bad connection

App didn’t work I tried up load before I went to the Colosseum and at the Colosseum it never opened thank god it was a amazing experience so I didn’t need the app

Why did they make this app

I don’t understand the purpose of this app

TERRIBLE APP

This app is as bad (or worse) than the ticket website.
The audio tours take forever to download, and aren’t that great.

App and Parco website are absolute garbage

Please, for the love of all things holy, get a modern and working app and website. It is shocking that one of the world’s greatest archaeological sites has the worst technology running it. Italian inefficiency at its finest.

…

Doesn’t work

Very poor app

Very confusing. Different segments for different parts of Colosseum, and the tracking works badly. Audio cuts in and out. Text segments are too long and words are often poorly pronounced in English.

Really useful and easy to use!

Great app for visitors to the Colosseum and Roman Forum. I especially appreciated that it offers a Ukrainian language option. The app made my visit much more interesting and enjoyable🇮🇹

Very useful and convenient app

This app works great. Download your audio tour on WiFi before visit if you have an international mobile network. It’s start audio tour when approach a significant location. Very useful.

Simples e funcional

Por esse app comprei meu ingresso para o Coliseu. O link me levou pra bilheteria oficial. E ainda serviu de áudio guia no dia do passeio

Won’t download audio

What’s the point of an audio tour without audio? App crashes often and won’t download the audio.
