### 2/5 — Kostenlos doch mit einigen Problemen

*2026-04-06, version 4.14.0*

Ich habe die App für den Audioguide des Schlosses Versailles genutzt und war leider insgesamt enttäuscht. Zwar ist die App kostenlos und erspart einem zunächst die 5 € für den klassischen Audioguide, doch dieser Vorteil wird durch zahlreiche Probleme schnell relativiert.
Bereits zu Beginn fällt auf, dass man zwar Deutsch als Sprache für die Audiotracks auswählen kann, die App selbst jedoch nicht auf Deutsch verfügbar ist. Hier stehen nur Englisch, Französisch und Spanisch zur Auswahl. Ich persönlich komme damit zurecht, da ich der englischen Sprache mächtig bin. Für ältere Mitmenschen oder Personen mit geringeren Sprachkenntnissen stellt dies jedoch eine echte Hürde dar. Diese können die App kaum sinnvoll nutzen und sind somit gezwungen, den kostenpflichtigen Audioguide zu nehmen.
Auch die Navigation innerhalb der App ist wenig benutzerfreundlich. Die Audiotracks sind zwar thematisch gegliedert, jedoch ist es sehr schwierig herauszufinden, welcher Bereich zu welchem Raum gehört, da dies vor Ort nirgends klar angekündigt wird. Zwar sind die einzelnen Tracks nummeriert, doch diese Nummern in den Räumen zu finden, ist oft mühsam und aufgrund der vielen Besucher sehr unübersichtlich. Dadurch kam es bei mir mehrfach vor, dass ich die falschen Audiotracks angehört habe.
Hinzu kommen inhaltliche Schwächen. Während der Audios sind mir Fehler aufgefallen, so wurde beispielsweise in einem Satz von Ludwig XV. gesprochen und im nächsten Satz dieselbe Person fälschlicherweise als Ludwig XIV. bezeichnet. Insgesamt bleiben die Informationen zudem recht oberflächlich und konzentrieren sich hauptsächlich auf die beschriebenen Gemälde, anstatt stärker auf die historische Bedeutung des Ortes einzugehen.
Alles in allem ist die App daher keine echte Alternative zum kostenpflichtigen Audioguide und aus meiner Sicht nicht zu empfehlen.

### 2/5 — Bodenlos

*2026-04-01, version 4.14.0*

Zwar kostenlos aber unübersichtlich und unvollständig.

### 5/5 — Floor Plan

*2026-03-28, version 4.14.0*

I love the in depth writing and audio for each room

### 1/5 — Fabrique par louis iv

*2025-11-21*

Beau mais Catastrophique a supprimer d’urgence !

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-11-06*

There are audio numbers on some of the rooms, but they don’t seem to match up with the numbers on the map of the palace, I think they match a purchased audio guide. Room numbers are hard to find to figure out where you are so you can follow the tour in the app. Putting some QR codes inside for at least making the numbers match the room numbers on the interactive map would help a lot or a way to enter the number of the room you are in to get oriented

### 1/5 — 500MB audio guide but no wifi

*2025-09-28, version 4.14.0*

As titled. Unbelievable

### 1/5 — Total nutzlos

*2025-09-06, version 4.13.0*

Die App nutzt einem gar nicht, wenn man im Schloss ist. Sie ist nicht wie ein Audioguide zu verwenden. Wie man etwas so schlecht machen kann, versteh ich nicht.

### 1/5 — Vista VS

*2025-09-06, version 4.13.0*

Ma come è possibile che non hanno un w-fi per scaricare una app palace of versailles che pesa 15 Milioni di KB  w la rivoluzione digitale.

### 1/5 — Not functional

*2025-08-26, version 4.13.0*

Cash grab, make you download the app. No wifi provided and app is glitchy

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2025-07-20*

I downloaded this app because it was the one recommended by the Chateau. However, none of the titles of the audio tours matched the rooms and the map was not searchable. The result was that I didn’t use it at all on our visit.
