Scant information. Not an audio guide at all. What a joke. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work. *2017-03-10* Took my money. Didn't work. Asked to take my money again. ### 1/5 — This app is all show, targeting you to download. *2016-10-31* I left a long review explaining why but it just glitched and disappeared. The modules offered in the app are dysfunctional purchase. It tainted my visit to the Vatican museums trying to squeeze value out of this app for 45 minutes. Avoid it. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2016-07-31, version 1.3* Don't touch this app! It is a £5 rip off. It downloads maps you get for free and provides the most basic information. ### 1/5 — Vatican app *2016-07-04* Don't waste your money. Use google images and Wikipedia instead. Get a roaming plan from your carrier so you can use your iPhone while traveling. It is a much better deal. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2015-10-21, version 1.3* Hidden fees, not worth it at all. Developers can ear my B-hole. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Really bad *2025-11-06* Completely useless, waste of data ### 1/5 — No better than Wikipedia *2018-10-26* Paid for the Sistine Chapel. Got two photos and wiki like text. No audio I can find **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

Unfortunately, I bought the upgrade, but it won’t open. Instead, it keeps trying to sell me the upgrade, tells me I have it restored, then shows the same sale screen again. It’s s frustrating waste of time. I want a refund **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

Most content unavailable without the upgrade. **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 — Not free!! *2017-11-22* The app is not usable without a purchase and they are the Vatican maps. They are using them without a license **Developer response:** Thank you very much and we are sorry the hear that. It is only 1 payment to unlock the content.

Thank you. ### 1/5 — not worth it *2017-10-15, version 1.11* I downloaded the app the morning before going to the Vatican. It requires a purchase to access maps and other information. Reluctantly I purchased to have the promise of a guide. It was not worth it. ### 1/5 — Not free AND broken *2017-07-24* Opening the app causes two things. First, a prompt to pay $2.99 for the app's content. Second, a crash. Even if I wanted to pay I couldn't because the app won't stay open! Worthless. ### 1/5 — Most useless *2017-07-07* Do not buy this app. This is most useless and expensive. Better take the audio guide at the museums. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pope Leo *2026-07-15* Es desconocido Lo Que estoy aciendo. En ensperanza de haver. ### 5/5 — An American Believer *2024-04-19* I was privileged to be stationed in Bella Napoli in the 90s. I am Retired USN. Going up to see the Vatican was a given. To see the countless artifacts of our faith was a great privilege. St. Peter’s is a true wonder that cannot be explained without actually seeing it in person. This app brings the Grace of our Lord to anyone who wants to see and learn about our faith into perspective. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Great for travel prep *2022-12-10, version 1.15* This app was a wonderful resource, filled with detailed content, when I was preparing to visit the Vatican, and now I enjoy browsing the app and remembering all of the things I saw. ### 5/5 — Great travel companion *2019-05-28* I loved this guide. It offers concise info, well organized, and you make sure you won’t be missing any of the must sees. The augmented reality feature was really cool... and it’s free! I really enjoyed using this guide during my visits to the Vatican! **Developer response:** Thank you ❤️ ### 5/5 — Greatest App 👏🏽 *2019-05-27* I loved this guide!!! 🥰 really nice features, super useful information, we really had the chance to deeply explore Vatican and we had great experiences with the tours offered. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone willing to discover Vatican in an efficient and enjoyable way 😎 **Developer response:** Thank you ❤️ ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-05-21* This app is a perfect Rome travel guide.It has lot of information about museums and other historical places.This helps a lot for the travelers who wants to discover the history of Rome.It has beautiful pics with great information.More over this app works offline. ### 5/5 — Great guide! *2016-05-21* This is such a great Rome travel guide for anyone who is traveling in this area. With offline maps and local guide info, you have all that you need in this app. Overall a great interface also. ### 2/5 — It is not free *2017-07-01* They force you to pay $2.99 to unlock certain information. ### 2/5 — Weak. Immediately asks you to unlock aka BUY maps. *2016-07-01* Just downloaded this to prep for a Vatican visit. Minimal information and images come with the free version. Anytime you click on something of substance you need to pay a few buck. WORTHLESS WITHOUT PAYING MORE. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
