Ne fonctionne pas ### 1/5 — Venice map *2015-01-11* A con, no zoom, hopeless map. Should be removed from Apple ### 1/5 — Ужас *2014-04-05* 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. ### 1/5 — Venice map *2014-01-25* All I got was a blank screen. (It could be a map for use at night) ### 1/5 — Un guide qui sert ... à rien *2013-12-05* Vraiment à éviter. Même en partant avec rien on s'en sort mieux ! ### 1/5 — Программа не работает после обновления *2013-08-22* Программа не работает после обновления ### 1/5 — Nulle - sans intérêt *2013-05-07* Ergonomie vieillotte, informations et photos touristiques erronées (un monument y est deux fois sous deux noms différents l'un en italien et l'autre avec sa traduction en français!!!). Les adresses des restaurants sont fausses et pas de lien automatique sur une carte ... Bref le guide qui ne sert à rien ... ### 1/5 — Mauvais achat *2012-10-05, version 2.4.0* Mauvaise traduction,impossible de revenir en arrière une fois la carte ouverte,renseignements incomplets. ### 1/5 — Venice Travel Guide *2011-08-06* This app is an incredible tool for those who enjoy the feeling of being lost, and frustrated. Though the app includes a map feature, the maps are too small to be read. The GPS provided uses what seems to be a Guess and Point System rather than any functional positioning system. You'll find this app works best on clear nights when the North Star is visible. If given the choice, I'd sooner find my way across the moon with a stick and a blindfold than use this app again. One would be better off downloading a guide book. I am sure this is the beta version which was released by mistake. ### 1/5 — Not worth £2.99 *2010-09-10* I found this useful but only slightly! Generally this app was a disappointment for me and didn't make my trip any easier apart from the language bit. ### 1/5 — Very disappointing *2010-08-17* Truly awful. The maps are useless. They don't zoom well, don't show landmarks and don't have ANY STREETNAMES! Doesn't use GPS, so you never know where you are. The info is also very poor - generic historical info but no practical details like opening times or prices. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Locked up and unresponsive *2024-06-15* 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- ### 1/5 — Disaster, robbery *2018-07-10* Bought too fast, I didn’t check the comments, I should have; it would not even install. Gmap did the job for free. ### 1/5 — Irritating *2018-05-29* Pretty useless information but solicitation to upgrade to the paid app pops up every thirty seconds or so. VERY irritating **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 — Misleading *2017-08-02* Automatic prompts to give them money as soon as the free app opens ### 1/5 — Terrible app! *2017-07-04* 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. ### 1/5 — Not usable for free *2017-05-18* 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. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2016-12-31* 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. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2016-11-28* Constantly shuts down, does not show street level maps. No instructions- not worth a penny. Kevin ### 1/5 — Horrible *2016-06-30, version 3.0.37* 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 ### 1/5 — Not useful requires multiple paid downloads *2016-03-06* 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 ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great orientation info to prepare for trip *2019-07-15* 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! **Developer response:** Thank you ❤️ ### 5/5 — Venice travel guide *2019-03-05* 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. **Developer response:** Thanks you very much. We are glad you liked the app. 😍 ### 5/5 — Third trip to Venice *2018-12-09* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review. We are always looking for ways to improve the product. ### 3/5 — Under rated *2019-02-14* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you very much. We are very happy that you enjoyed the app. We are working on your suggestions and will update the app as soon as the work is done. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Venise Guide de voyage *2012-08-22* Application intéressante et bien réalisée. Dommage qu'elle soit truffée de fautes d'orthographe...... ### 2/5 — installation problems *2016-07-04* does not install on the current iOS ### 2/5 — Average *2014-04-23* 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. ### 2/5 — На 2 *2013-06-11* Мало информации о достопримечательностях,карты не подробные. ### 2/5 — It's not awful... *2011-08-02* ...but it's not terribly useful. The map is a wasted opportunity. That alone should be worth $5 or more, but it lacks necessary details and fails to do it's primary job: guide you through the dense, confusing "streets" of Venice. The decision to break up the suggested itineraries by the length of one's trip has potential, but even that is clumsily executed. For example, if you're staying for five days, you must first read the guides for 1, 2, and 3 day trips separately. And why certain things are only worth seeing on a longer trip is never explained. It appears to be based more on geography than anything else, which is a shame. Just because two things are close to each other doesn't make them of equal importance. And the information itself is mostly bland and incredibly superficial, barely scratching the surface of what makes Venice so unique and interesting. My wife's old fashioned guidebook was heavier and had no GPS function, but we found ourselves referring to it much, much more. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
