Non scaricatela assolutamente. ### 1/5 — Unuseful *2018-07-01, version 1.15* This application is completely unuseful, the AR does not work, is poor of information and doesn’t have a map of the archeological site. I threw my money away. ### 1/5 — I wish I hadn’t bought it *2018-06-11* Very little info Doesn’t provide info linked to map Font is grey so you can’t read it in the sun **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry you have had a bad experience with the app. We are trying to improve it in a daily basis. Our new app "Tours & Travel" is completely Free, please check it out. https://itunes.apple.com/app/tours-travel/id886459427?mt=8 ### 1/5 — развод на деньги *2018-06-08* это приложение — чистейший развод на деньги. в реальности это 4 краткие исторические справки про Помпеи и 6 описаний зданий Помпей, т.е. то что вы найдёте в любой краткой справке в интернете. Карта неактивна и совершено нечитабельна, а дополненная реальность не работает вовсе, к чему бы вы не подносили камеру. Отсутсвие инструкции как бы намекает, что понимать тут нечего, оно просто не работает и все. А больше там ничего и нет. Верните мне мои 300 рублей! ### 1/5 — Useless as a guide *2018-06-05* Hoping to get enuff reviews so people know to avoid at 1st glance. Aside from not being user friendly I couldn’t get any interaction between the maps and the sites listed on the map. In other words when I pressed a site on the map no information popped up. The non-interactive printed maps are free at the info center in Pompeii. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

And they do not offer a refund. Avoid . **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

The app should not show any notification if you have already bought the premium version. So we will escalate this issue ASAP to solve it. Please accept our apologies and we would gladly offer you a work around this issue, please write us at contact@etips.com so we can take it from there. ### 1/5 — Money, money... *2018-01-16* The app doesn’t do much, unless you pay... **Developer response:** Thank you very much and we are sorry the hear that. It is only 1 payment to unlock the content. The reason behind this is for travelers to be able to enjoy everything in an offline mode without paying for roaming charges while they travel. Even being able to use geolocalization capabilities such as GPS or Augmented Reality without being connected to your cell phone provider. We hope you understand and if you have any other question, please do not hesitate to get back to us. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Ужасное приложение *2017-10-24* Купил я путеводитель по Помпеи Озвучка - синтезированная речь Полное несоответствие Карты путеводителя и описанных мест( в карте 64 POI, а описано только 8) ### 1/5 — How do I get my money back? *2017-09-15* Seriously you scam artists. Must have taken 1 day to develop. How do I get a refund? ### 1/5 — Развод на деньги *2017-08-15, version 1.13* В приложении ничего нет, тупо обзорная статья из Википедии. Ни плана нормального, ни описаний. ### 1/5 — Not free *2017-08-10* £3.99 if you want any content ### 1/5 — Ne pas installer ! Appli pas gratuite, menteurs, voleurs *2017-07-24* Il faut payer pour activer chaque fonctionnalité, en gros pas du tout une app gratuite , menteurs et voleurs Ne pas installer ! ### 1/5 — Not free! *2017-07-06* Says free but to actually get the maps you have to download for £3.99 ### 1/5 — Do not pay *2017-05-02* A complete waste of money, the worst electronic map ever. No information bar one page and wikipedia has more information. Get the free map book at the information centre and walk around yourself. Spend the money on an ice cream while your there. ### 1/5 — Avoid this app *2017-04-26* I purchased this thinking it would be useful while exploring the ruins of Pompeii. However, the map doesn't show your location. There is some detail about a few of the sites but not enough to make it worthwhile, nor is there any meaningful way to locate that information. The site itself does have a recommended app, however if you're just visiting for a day, you're probably not going to have an internet connection to download it. Anyway, get another app and save your money on this one. ### 1/5 — Cheeky *2017-04-16* Can't do anything without paying for map. Keeps trying to send you to hotel booking sites. Useless! ### 1/5 — leere hülle *2017-03-02* Hat keine funktion ist nut als hülle für inapp käufe zu nutzen ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible UX *2023-07-30* I downloaded this at the hotel so I could use at Pompeii as a tour guide and I get here and it’s worthless. If there is a way to access the virtual guide I have had no luck figuring it out and I am in tech. So I’ve had to download another app. ### 1/5 — Натуральный развод!!! *2021-07-18, version 1.18* Натуральный развод!!! Не ведитесь! ### 1/5 — Abzocke *2021-07-11* Wie alle Apps über Pompei dient diese dem Geld verdienen. Es gibt keine wertvollen Informationen ### 1/5 — Not useful *2019-03-17* It does not replace the rental tour found at the entrance of the Pompeii site. None of the features were particularly helpful. AR was a bust. I had no need for the hotel booking aspect. The written descriptions of sites were too general to be informative. I do not recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Very disappointing and I couldn’t report a problem online *2018-11-24* I was in Pompeii Scavi and wanted to download a useful guide app. I downloaded this app and paid €3.99 and couldn’t get anything as guidance to work- no mark on map except for your current location. The only available map is a simple picture with low resolution and clicking on poi on map does nothing but move the map around. This was wasteful and not an accurate product as it described. ### 1/5 — Free version is useless *2018-10-10* The free version does not offer any useful functionality at all. It is essentially just the outline of the app where every click leads you to an ad for the paid version. Deleted immediately as I have no idea if the paid version will be worth it without seeing even a hint of its actual function. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

Je ne suis pas arrivé à me servir de la réalité augmentée pour laquelle j’avais acheté l’app **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

Pagas 5€ xa obtener el mapa q te dan gratis. Si quieres acceder a otra ciudad de las q te pone, tienes q volver a pagar ### 1/5 — Das Letzte *2018-07-28* Ohne In-App Kauf 4,49 keine Funktion zugänglich. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — H no in jej *2022-10-09, version 1.19* Aj no udjdksl ### 5/5 — Pompeii *2021-08-25* I I Am Big Fan Of Pompeii ### 2/5 — Almost total garbage *2016-08-03* The gps locator works, so there's that. The map is detailed, so there's that. But I bought this precisely for the AR function it advertises, and instead it is a twisted bait-and-switch: when you tap the AR button you are taken to a prompt to buy more products. The AR just isn't there. As a fraud, it should probably get zero. But I'm willing to accept that I may have made a mistake, that accessing the AR may just be INCREDIBLY counterintuitive and just fail it instead. ### 2/5 — Disappointing and not really free *2016-07-08* Downloaded this as a means of skipping the audio guide at Pompeii. To access a map (which is much needed in this sprawling city), you have to pay and it doesn't even use GPS to let you know where you are. So I'd recommend downloading the free and better CityMaps2Go map and preloading the Wikipedia page on your phone. You'd get the same information and a much clearer idea of how to get where you want to go. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
