User Reviews

User reviews of ITGuides: Pompeii, Herculaneum praise its detailed, clear audio guides and helpful maps that enrich visits to archaeological sites. The app is valued for good audio quality and cost-effectiveness compared to official guides. However, many users criticize the app's poor interface design and difficult navigation, with some audio content seen as too brief or unengaging. GPS inaccuracies and occasional intrusive notifications have also impacted user experience. Overall, while the app has strong informational content, usability and technical issues detract from its potential.

Pros

Clear and high-quality audio guides enhance the visiting experience.
Includes useful features like maps and point-of-interest lists that aid navigation during tours.
Offers good value for money compared to official audio guides and free alternatives.

Cons

The app interface is often described as poor, over-engineered, or not user-friendly, making navigation difficult.
Audio content for some guides is considered short, bland, or underwhelming, lacking depth and engagement.
GPS and navigation features can be inaccurate or battery-draining, and selecting points of interest on maps can be frustrating.
Some language versions (e.g., French) have poor translation quality, and push notifications have caused intrusive issues.
Certain guides are seen as not worth the price and may be less comprehensive than free resources like Wikipedia.

I used guides for Herculaneum, Naples and Sorrento. The app is easy to use with plenty of interesting information on all the locations. Really made our trip to Italy so much more worth it. Very good value for money too.

Used it for Herculaneum in Naples....it's awful....bland , short sentences that have to be downloaded..uses lots of data , inaccurate GPS...we had 6 , only 1 person bothered with it after 10 minutes. AVOID!
