    Excellent
    Great use of technology. Very interesting and informative narration. We’ll worth the time and low price! Could be even better with a more representative map and pictures that illustrate the narration.

    Loved It
    This tour is great! Easy to follow, meets the mark, the narrator tempo is perfect. This made the experience so much better and we learned more than we ever would have without it. Thank you for the effort!

    I wouldn't bother - difficult to use and not very helpful
    We spent more than half our time available in the Forum getting this app to work. It didn't help us navigate, it kept turning on and off, it kept "binging" when we were waiting, it had difficulty finding where we were, and it periodically decided that we were lost, even while we were listening to one of the explanations, in which case the cutesy message informing us we were lost overlapped with the audio, rendering them both useless. And, to make matters worse, the explanations were not very illuminating or interesting. 90% of the info was a total replication of the info on the signs that the forum has in front of each site, and the rest did not add any value at all. Final summary - this was far more of a burden than a benefit, and anyone would be better off going without this tour at all. If you're really interested in the history and context beyond the stuff the signs would provide, you'd be better of buying a real guided tour. We also noticed that the forum itself has an audioguide rental tour. We can't comment on how much it costs or how good it is, but we noticed the numbers indicated for each of the sites we stopped at. Save yourself some frustration and skip this tour.
