Locked up and unresponsive

I was looking forward to using this app but as the title indicates, all it does is lock up at the get go and is unresponsive. Waste of time and data-

Great orientation info to prepare for trip

This app really helped me to understand the lay of the land in Venice and provided essential info for preparing for my trip heading to a complicated place!

Thank you ❤️

Venice travel guide

I have downloaded this app just before my trip to Italy. We landed in Rome and went straight to Venice. I was pretty lost at the beginning as I didnt know you could not get into downtown driving so I decided to use this venice travel guide to help me find the main attractions I wanted to see. I am really happy with the performance of the app and I took advantage to also book a vip dinner with my wife after a gondola ride. This city is amazing, if you havent visited yet, you should put it in your bucket's list.

Thanks you very much. We are glad you liked the app. 😍

Under rated

Low raters of this app have some valid points but actually it is really excellent. It contains dozens of ‘points of interest’ icons which provide quite extensive descriptions and with automated voice readings which is a nice feature. The photography is exceptionally good. You won’t find better anywhere.
There are many other icons for eating places, hotels, boat services etc., but no banks, and no information other than the name. There are no street names on the map but anyone who’s tried to find their way around a city like this by street names knows it’s not much fun. The map colours make it probably the easiest to see in daylight. It’s a bitmap map though rather than a vector line map which is a shame. There’s no excuse for this but it works well enough.
There’s quite extensive information on restaurants and shopping but no way to find anything on the map. There is no search facility at all.
The strangest part of the app though is the tours booking service. Again, an extensive selection of guided tours which are bookable from the app. It could be excellent but there’s no information at all about the vendors. Closer inspection reveals that it’s through Viator but you have to give credit card details to find out more.
I don’t think it’s overpriced for what it does well but it could and should be better.

Third trip to Venice

This is my third trip to Venice and this guide made my life easier. I took the tour to Murano and it was the first time for my wife there, we loved it. The guide has all you need at no price. Really like the design and the ability to be able to navigate offline specially while using the maps.
I recommend this travel guide if its your first time in the city or even if you already know the city.

Thank you very much for your review. We are always looking for ways to improve the product.

Disaster, robbery

Bought too fast, I didn’t check the comments, I should have; it would not even install. Gmap did the job for free.

Irritating

Pretty useless information but solicitation to upgrade to the paid app pops up every thirty seconds or so. VERY irritating

Response from developer

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.

Misleading

Automatic prompts to give them money as soon as the free app opens

Terrible app!

Do not waste your money! There is almost no detail in the map. Forget about things as simple as street names. Send me six dollars and I'll send you an ink drawing of Venice on a napkin for you.

Not usable for free

Very misleading. You can't do anything with this app without doing a $5 in-app purchase. It's not free at all! Waste of a download.

Rubbish

Ended up paying for this whilst trying to close app. Once I paid its functionality was garbage or it crashed. Save yourself the money and pick up free map in Venice.

Terrible app

Constantly shuts down, does not show street level maps. No instructions- not worth a penny.

installation problems

does not install on the current iOS

Horrible

Don't waste your money on a nap that doesn't allow you to zoom in on the street names. Doesn't allow you to map out a path from bus stop to boat port. Horrible app. Save your $5.49

Not useful requires multiple paid downloads

Purchased the Venice map and its not usable, you can't zoom in close enough to be able to navigate, the "Venice in X days" plan don't include advice of how to move between locations. Not useful as a guide at all, not recommended

Bof bof

Quelques banalités...
Ne fonctionne pas

Venice map

A con, no zoom, hopeless map. Should be removed from Apple

Average

Pics and info of sights is good. Map does not display street names!! Did a search on the map for Rialto and got no search results! Certainly couldn't use this to navigate around Venice.

Ужас

Программа - чистый развод на деньги. Представляет из себя реальную пустышку, с информацией из бесплатного рекламного буклета. Что это за путеводитель, у которого в разделе ВСЕ ОТЕЛИ ВЕНЕЦИИ находится перечень из двадцати отелей, в разделе причалы - вообще 10 записей, не говоря уже о том, что карта Венеции вообще не содержит названий улиц и площадей, только два десятка названий каналов - это сложно вообще назвать картой. Наличие нескольких десятков фотографий и общей информации по общеизвестным достопримечательностям смахивает на презентацию из начальной школы на тему "как я провел лето". Очень жалею что скачал этот недоделанный программный продукт. Буду искать нормальную альтернативу. Настоятельно не рекомендую.

Venice map

All I got was a blank screen. (It could be a map for use at night)
