  • Awful app!

    Totally NOT intuitive. There’s no link between where you are and where you need to go. The available map has sites numbered, but the chapters are not numbered. So incredibly frustrating! A waste of money.
  • Didn’t work

    Paid $6 and it didn’t work. The tour wouldn’t download within the app, across three different networks. Something wrong with app.

    Would give zero stars. Purchased and downloaded the app on my iPhone 15 pro with IOS 17.3 while enroute to Bonaventure cemetery. Opened the app and immediately directed to download the tour media. I could not complete the download. Error message said media could not be downloaded, try again. Tried again and again without success. The app contained nothing without this download. The website link on the app was not useful and directs you to the app! Totally useless. At least I made a donation to the Bonaventure Historical society, but I was purchasing a product that did not function as expected.
  • Wasted my money!

    I bought this app as I was about to go into the cemetery and the app was not functional except to direct to their website. COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!
  • Poorly designed app. Doesn’t work well.

    I hope some of this info finds its way to the developers to fix the App, because we love Bonaventure and have been there 3 times and are looking forward to a better tour next time… The info presented in the app is just OK. Informative but Not presented in a way that keeps you interested. Instead of 20 different monotone script readers, get someone with some excitement who loves to tell you about what you’re seeing. But the biggest problems are with the App itself. The navigation to each grave site and between sites is very poor. Transitions are awful. Navigation tries to use location sensing to pop up an audio when you are near something but it doesn’t work 90% of the time. Finding your way between sites leaves you wandering and wondering. The narrative describes how to get there but the narratives can only get you there if you’ve found the site immediately preceding and unlike the gravesite audios, the site transition narratives can’t be found on their own. They should include these transitions in the list of audio narratives of the gravesites which are easily accessible. Navigation using the JPEG of their map is about the only way to really find your way around, and I would never have made it otherwise, but with the technology available today like any Apple/Google/Waze location sensing mapping software with walking directions, I expected a lot more from this. Lastly, the first audio narration with highway directions of how to get to Bonaventure Cemetery is is on EVERY page. Hit the wrong audio button at any gravesite or route and you’re back to the beginning … reset… and again listening to the directions to the Cemetery! Then you have to find your place in the tour again. The App will leave you frustrated.
  • Almost perfect

    You need to enable the GPS and allow notifications and it will start reading the comments when you get near a marker. The only issue we found was the numbers on the map do not correspond to the comments. If they only would put “6” Johnson which matches to the “6” on the map it would a lot clear where you were well worth. 5.99

    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
  • Boring

    Facts about the graves are pretty dull, they have a tour service there that seemed more interactive
  • Poorly executed app

    This app is very poorly designed. For example, there is a map with numbers, but no key, and the list of plots is not numbered. The directions are confusing. You cannot change the order of the tour. A complete waste of time and money. Don’t bother.
