Ratings and reviews

A good basic app if you don't want to pay for a guided tour. I found it easiest to start at the back of the cemetery near the river. I grabbed a paper map from the guest office up front and that helped me get my bearing. The app is far from perfect but it does automatically start narrating once you near one of the markers. Is the app worth $5? I think so but just don't expect too much. It is interesting to listen to IF you can find the right plots.

Intended as a self guided walking tour aid. As others have said the in app gps is a bit whack, but between the in app location and signs in the cemertary it's good enough to find your way around. Once on the tour the narrated audio was interesting and provided context you would never get alone. It's not the same as a full tour, but this app is *definitely* worth the cost if you don't want a regular tour or don't have time for one.

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.
