Discover Pompeii - Pompei Tour 4+

Useful on my trip to Pompeii

Went to Pompeii a few days back, and while planning I came across this app. I was searching for places to go and to get some background info on Pompeii and its landmarks. This app really helped me to make me more informed when I visited Pompeii and it really showed me the best places to go. It has an interactive map and many different audio clips you can listen to telling about the different landmarks. It’s easy to navigate the app and it helped me choose the most interesting places to visit. I really recommend this app to people who plan on visiting Pompeii!

Not Awesome

This app should be getting a high rating, but the buggy GPS functionality is incredibly aggravating. Out of the 30 or so sites we visited within Pompeii, only twice did the GPS keep working as we starts walking to the next location. Every other time the arrow would freeze in your last location, requiring you force-quit and restart the app in order to get your location working again. It also stopped working any time you’d either listen to an audio segment or switch over to another app (like taking a photo, which I of course wanted to do repeatedly). After force-quitting and restarting the app countless times I was ready to throw the app out the window. Particularly because I paid for their premium access. I liked the audio content, but it was such a pain to use navigationally that I just can’t recommend the app until they’ve fixed this major issue.

Great app

Worked great offline on my trip. I used it as a supplement to my in-person guide and for wandering by myself after. Sometimes the GPS will get stuck but you can fix it by restarting the app. One suggestion would be to add the Italian place names in parentheses so it’s easier to match them to the signage.

Developer Response ,

Hi Rpdakid, thanks for your feedback, we'll be adding the Italian name of the attractions in the next release
