Ratings and reviews

The app has a lot of improvements it can make. I wondered around for about an hour trying to figure out where the tour was supposed to start. The directions were no help and there were several segments of audio that only added to the confusion. The GPS of the app is wonky so that the in app map is unhelpful and the audio switched back and forth between "Stops" and "Information". Once I got to stop 2, the tour was amazing though. The app has bugs but a lot of potential.

Had to pay for app, which would be ok if the tour had better navigation between stops. There's an auto detect for the stops. Good if you're just going haphazardly around but if you're following along in order it's annoying. Good information but would be better if there were more than 22 sites. It's a big cemetery with decades of stories. Since there aren't guided tours, the information the guides would give you should be included. Like what different symbols, styles of stones & plots/sites.

The idea for the app gets 2 stars but the app itself deserves 1 or 0. The locations of the dots on the map are misleading and confusing. The app didn't always start up as it should. The directions were given quickly, not repeated and weren't easy to understand in the first place. The recordings were low energy and low quality. After a short time I got fed up and gave up. I wish they offered a better paper map and asked for donations. This app isn't worth a penny.
