Sufficient Application for tourists

1 Do not forget those you left behind. 2 France’s TT’s (tourist traps) are renown for an assortment of gifts $10 or less sized well for your carryon valises. 3 They also made the guillotine more famous than any magician ever, Houdini included. 4 Inhalation of nicotine is now permitted via e-cigarette devices in almost every public space. 5 When elsewhere, use care. 6 This is France we are discussing. 7 refer to sentence 3.

Increased the quality of our trip!

When we went to Versailles in March, the line to get the headphones was long and we weren’t sure if it cost money so we skipped it and I found this app! It was way easier to navigate than I expected and gave incredible information that was pretty easy to follow. I’m someone who loves to read plaques when I go to museums. Well, Versailles doesn’t really have plaques so you kind of just have to guess about things. This app filled in so many details! There are even details about the grounds and La Trianon and Le Petite Trianon. The map was accurate and detailed. The only thing that got confusing was that it isn’t up-to-date on a couple areas that tourists are not allowed to go to right now.

Very frustrating app

First I loaded the guide but it did not fully load. Then once in the chateau it turned to be very difficult to find the narrative for the section where we were. The search feature would get us nowhere. Once I was able to locate the right room in the guide that’s when I realized the narrative had not fully loaded and I spent way too much time trying to get it to load , but there was no cell signal and no WiFi. Once I found a corner with signal and was able to load there we were almost at the end and my GF who had purchased the audio guide at the entrance was tired and wanted to go to the gardens where the guide was useless…

Buggy, French language regardless of setting

Buggy and hard to use. Biggest issue: Language Setting fails to initialize correctly App defaults to English language for me in settings, however All audio is French. (FIX) - change language to be different, say French, then change to English (desired language), it likely will load correct audio then. When you are in Palace, it was crazy frustrating to waste time debugging this. Staff at museum were mystified too. I would have preferred easy use app, relatively bug free.

Useless app

The app doesn’t really provide a guided tour. There are a few rooms that appear in the app for audio guides, but nothing compared to the not-free audio guide. Essentially useless and rather clunky.
