App Profile: ITGuides: Pompeii, Herculaneum

Rating: 5/5

This app was just what I needed for a leisurely walk through Herculaneum. Photos help you make sure you’re in the right place, the audio guide is clear and succinct, or you can use the transcript. My favorite feature was the ability to see the available locations on a map (or in google maps) with my location so I could easily navigate to each place. The only improvement for future versions would be to add tracks more locations but I saw only a few places IRL that didn’t have audio tracks in the app. There were some negative reviews so I felt I was taking a chance, but I’m glad I did. Overall a very well done app!

It won’t download the purchased guides ahead of time. So many bugs. At Ercolano they have weak WiFi on site but it also didn’t work well and crashed. Too bad. I really wanted an audio guide and it wasn’t worth the €2.
