### 3/5 — Battery Died Fast

*2024-11-23, version 10.1*

I liked the app, the map, and the audio. BUT it killed my battery. After two hours, I was reduced to 10%, then I had to shut it down. We were left wandering around in Pompeii.

### 1/5 — Can be optimized

*2024-05-06*

The app consummed 25 % of battery with few uses. The POI disapear on the map when you zoom. The POI are not all on the map … hard to use when you want to do a free visit without following a circuit.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2023-05-17, version 9.3*

This app is awful and a total waste of money. The audio recordings play for around 30-60s and then cut out, there is no way to them make them work. The 2hr tour is actually about 45mins and is very short; the map is hard to navigate and you can’t easily move it around. 
Used for around 10minutes then gave up and went with an app from another company.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2022-10-18*

Had to reinstall three times. Downloaded everything. Still doesn’t work.

**Developer response:** new version is available, we are sorry for this problems

### 1/5 — Completely useless app

*2022-10-05, version 8.2*

Crashed the first time I tried to open it while in Pompeii and repeatedly crashed through the day. Appears to need wifi or data to function, neither of which were accessible at Pompeii. Don’t waste your money on this.

### 2/5 — Not a very good app or guide

*2022-06-14*

Map doesn’t work well, and the site numbers don’t line up as expected.  Some sites are missing.  The narrator seems to assume you are standing in a specific spot.  Do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Ruined my visit.

*2022-06-10, version 8.2*

This app ruined my visit because I blindly downloaded and paid for it without reading previous reviews! It kept freezing half way through and I had to go back all the way to the entry to hire out an audio guide but at that point the audio guides were sold out. Wouldn’t even give it 1 star.

### 1/5 — Dont get this App

*2022-06-03*

Waste of money, I set it up before leaving and when I arrived at pompei it kept crashing. Ended up getting an audioguide in place for 8€ which pretty much did the same job the app was designed for and if you have issues you can always exchange it in place something you cannot do with the App. Don't waste your money on this app.

### 3/5 — Missing the 2 and 3 hour tours

*2020-07-03*

False advertising, this is why we bought the app

**Developer response:** We are sorry, but the tour of 2 and 3 hours are closed now due the covid problems and our APP shows only the official paths possible in this period.

### 1/5 — Don’t Bother

*2019-08-23*

I downloaded multiple times and audio/imagery wasn’t fully loaded. Stop halfway. Map freezes and slow to move. Too bad.

**Developer response:** We are sorry for that, but this problem is caused by a bad data connection to download the media.
