App Profile: Bonaventure Cemetery Tours

I used this today with my boyfriend at the Cemetery and while the information was neat, the app needs some fixes. 1. Update the text so the term “northern aggression” is removed in the description of the enslaved valet of one of the people buried in the cemetery. 2. Have a full, zoomable map in the app that people can use to find their way around. My boyfriend and I got lost through following the app’s directions. 3. Update the grave lot pictures so they reflect how they look now. We almost missed more than one grave of note because the graves were a lot cleaner in the app’s older pictures 4. Fix it so the app doesn’t completely drain a phone battery in less than 3 hours. Luckily I had my charger, but it was the only possible app that could’ve caused this issue

It’s a lot cheaper than a tour and had great information and fun facts that many of the other tours I’ve been on never mentioned. The person that mentioned it was narrow minded clearly didn’t go to the Jewish ones on the map because they were ones on there. “It’s rich white people” I don’t see how the tour guides could help that and the cemetery started from a group of rich white families in the 1800s, I’m not sure what diversity you expected to see. Anyways, I really enjoyed the different voices that told the stories as well. It’s not super accurate on the map locations but the voices tell you where to go next and with the names on all the plots it’s impossible not to find and gave us a game to find the next one so it wasn’t that difficult, people complaining are being a little ridiculous it’s not like it has to be there or it won’t play...

I gave this a 5 star to balance out some of the haters that might dissuade you from trying this. The GPS-aided map works fine to navigate you to all the must-sees and provided useful insights. Yes, it could be optimized as some reviews suggested, but it really works well and made our trip to Bonaventure a highlight of our Savannah vacation. I don’t regret not shelling out $36 a head instead for a one hour golf cart tour. We got to go at our own pace and saw everything up close and took great pictures.
