Bonaventure Cemetery Tours Hack 8.0.188 + Redeem Codes

Overall it’s an OK app, but at $5 it’s a bit overpriced for what it tells you.

Also, why is the app solely focused on the rich white men from the civil war and earlier? There’s clearly a lot more in the cemetery, so it’s weird to focus so narrowly. For instance, what’s up with the Jewish cemetery? Could be interesting to talk about more.

Finally, and I know that the south does tend to have a... different... interpretation of the civil war, but to tell the story of an enslaved man taking actions to fight agains “northern oppression” is honestly insane. Like, I know you don’t want to focus on the atrocities of slavery, but if you’re gonna talk about it, don’t gloss over it like it was no big deal. And, if you’re going to talk about slavery, definitely don’t pick a story of a man who helped his enslaver as though he was a hero fighting for liberty, when he had no liberty himself.

It’s a lot cheaper than a tour and had great information and fun facts that many of the other tours I’ve been on never mentioned. The person that mentioned it was narrow minded clearly didn’t go to the Jewish ones on the map because they were ones on there. “It’s rich white people” I don’t see how the tour guides could help that and the cemetery started from a group of rich white families in the 1800s, I’m not sure what diversity you expected to see. Anyways, I really enjoyed the different voices that told the stories as well. It’s not super accurate on the map locations but the voices tell you where to go next and with the names on all the plots it’s impossible not to find and gave us a game to find the next one so it wasn’t that difficult, people complaining are being a little ridiculous it’s not like it has to be there or it won’t play...

This app was incredibly frustrating. It assumes you are beginning near the museum at the entrance. If you aren’t you end up backtracking to find the first site. The directions aren’t always clear, narration begins when you aren’t yet at the site. If the app could find my location, why can’t it find where I am when I’m first starting and begin my tour from my location? The narration that we managed to get in the right place was very informative. Definitely cheaper than paying for a tour, and the money goes to help keep the cemetery up but, the app needs some refinement to be really useful.

This app did not work very well in terms of guiding you around the cemetery. The map included in the app did not list the Lot or Section letters so, unless you could figure out which street you were on (and there were few street signs), it was difficult to follow. Furthermore, the audio was interesting but they should have put a corresponding site number next to the audio so you could find it.

A paper map would probably have worked better. We didn't do a tour or stop at the visitor center because it was raining.

This app had some good information but the gps location on it wasn’t very good. We had info playing for a gravesite several yards away. It got rather confusing. I think we would have preferred something that gave better verbal directions in the narration. Not really worth the money; and because the cemetery itself is a bit confusing, I would recommend getting a real tour if you are looking for something other than just a nice walk and photos.

Although the app was a little clunky to use, it was informative and we found our way around to all the grave plots without too much difficulty. We found the maps helpful and accurate. The pictures of the grave plots were especially helpful to make sure we found our way around. Although we are southerners ourselves, we found the narrators to be entertaining, informative, and we really enjoyed the different southern drawls!

Overall, once we got oriented with our surroundings the app was great. One thing I wish we would have done was start listening to it before you get there. They give directions on where to park and where to enter the cemetery, which then leads you on your walk to the historic site.

The app is very well worth the price and easy enough to navigate. It gives you cool little knowledge on important people in the cemetery and gives you a little more knowledge into the history of Savannah. We found it fun using the pictures and descriptions to find the gravestones. Great app makes exploring the graveyard more fun.

If you’re ever able to navigate to a plot with a narrative, then the app is great. However, that proved practically impossible. The map is not accurate with road locations, or even road names. The plots are designated in alphabetical sections and then by number in the section, but there are no sections referenced on the map. The auto notification is only correct about half the time, I.e. sometimes it pops up when you’re close but not always. The map does not show your GPS location as you move, so you’re not able to use that to narrow down your location either.

We came to the cemetery not knowing what we were looking for. This app navigated us through the cemetery and helped us stop at important places along the way! Loved the pictures and narrations, definitely worth the price!
