Ratings and reviews

Some guides are valid, like when the app uses them as main audio guides in a church tour but the others are of questionable use. Purchased the Rome guide for ~12 euros and it was like having a small version of Wikipedia red to us. There are a lot of packages to be purchased but they are not worth it. People are better off reading Wikipedia as it's far richer and completely free. Good unused potential. Until it's improved though this is not worth spending on, far too expensive for what it is.

The spoken content is short and quite underwhelming and provides little insight into Herculanean life, and it doesn't cover many interesting places within the town. Navigation of the app is poor and there's an issue with navigation. The app is also over-engineered and should be simplified.

Purchased a guide for Herculeanuem. Saved a few bucks over the official audio guide (3.5 vs 8 euro) BUT the interface is NOT well designed. The only way to select an audio clip is via a map. Unless you know which way you are facing or have your GPS constantly on (draining down your battery) You will likely select the wrong point of interest and have to go back. They should have a very simple list of sites (labeled 1, 2, 3, etc) w/ available narratives. ALSO there are missing points of interest
