Pompeii Touch

GPS Function worked great for me and kept me pointed in right direction, of course so did free google maps. Disappointed that clicking a place on map didn’t bring up info, graphics are very early 90s, info on very few places. What was there I found informative. $.99 would have been a better price for what you get but was nice to have GPS since street signs don’t match what’s on map.

I did not use the app for GPS / positioning so I can not speak to that functionality. But the app is very helpful in providing a comparison between the current day ruin and the appearance in antiquity. While the number of sites included is somewhat limited (~15), it includes key public and private sites which provides a good overview of what Pompeii would have looked like. I found it worth $3

I attempted to use this app with full cellphone coverage, but was not able to get it to display accurate information on locations inside the walls. Plus items were locked off that the map said you should be able to see. I know that is What the map is for, but it needs to be updated if items have been locked off for months.

It’s a shame this app is SO bad. The gps mapping function does not work, which was my primary purpose for buying. There are no links from the map to any content, including the several buildings that are highlighted on the home page. I saw this advertised at the entry to the ruins. It’s a shame such an amazing historical site as Pompeii has such a poor mapping app. I want my money back!

If all you need is a GPS of Pompei, then it would be good. But as an guide- not so much. It lists sites, but the sites and the info about them do not link to the gps location, so I was constantly having to flip back to see if there was more info. If you need a low cost app, use Rick Steves, or get the audio guides. Don’t waste your money
