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.

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.

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.
