Learn about one of the most famous Victorian cemeteries in the world and its inhabitants. Each stop has photos and a narration by a local Savannah resident.
Your fee goes directly to support the preservation efforts of this treasure by the Bonaventure Historical Society.
This is a very lame app. Works intermittently. Don't waste your money. You're better off taking a tour with a guide.
Good historical information. Navigation needs to improve. Suggest integrating more with Google Maps so you can see your location relative to places in the cemetery. One of the map images had a road name that was different than the name on Google maps.
This app really has a ton of potential, but there's a lot of focus on confederate generals and absolutely 0 on the entire jewish section of the cemetery. I also noticed that a narrator refers to the Civil War as the "war of northern aggression" at one point. I'm a born southerner, I enjoy history, but I found the lack of sensitivity appalling. Weed out the racism and revisionist history, please, and then I'll recommend this app.
Terrible app! Don't waste your money. This app was confusing to all 4 of us adults. When we did get to the right location it would tell us we were at a different location and start automatically playing that location we weren't even at. We spent more time messing with the app than we should have. Some are commentaries from other people, most of it non important facts. We were all disappointed. We finally quit the app about half way through. Don't waste your money
The idea for the app gets 2 stars but the app itself deserves 1 or 0. The locations of the dots on the map are misleading and confusing. The app didn't always start up as it should. The directions were given quickly, not repeated and weren't easy to understand in the first place. The recordings were low energy and low quality. After a short time I got fed up and gave up. I wish they offered a better paper map and asked for donations. This app isn't worth a penny.

A good basic app if you don't want to pay for a guided tour. I found it easiest to start at the back of the cemetery near the river. I grabbed a paper map from the guest office up front and that helped me get my bearing. The app is far from perfect but it does automatically start narrating once you near one of the markers. Is the app worth $5? I think so but just don't expect too much. It is interesting to listen to IF you can find the right plots.
