Very useful on visit
The app has evidently been updated significantly since the historical bad reviews. Was very useful for our visit and had a good audio guide. Recommended.
Awful App and Cowds
App is difficult to navigate to get commentary on the rooms you are in. But perhaps it’s doesn’t matter as although you book half hour slots to see the palace they over-book and profiteer so much you start in a really long queue outside which continues through your entire route through the palace! Herded like cattle.
Funcionamiento de mapa y audioguia
Me encanto la app. Recori muchos lugares con audioguia, ya sea con app o con sitio web y esta fue la que mas me gusto. Me gusto que de cierta manera te descargue la app y el audioguia del sector principal. Y que lo dividian las distintas sectores. Pero hay dos detalles para utilizarlo. El mapa en general de abajo a la izquierda no fue el mas intuitivo pero el mapa dentro del sector que indican cuarto a cuarto me encanto y me ayudo claramente a ubicarme.(Ademas por como se circula es simplemente poner next). Lo segundo que agregar fue que me gustaria de poder modificar la velocidad del audioguia. Ya sea para mas lento o mas rapido.
Kostenlos doch mit einigen Problemen
Ich habe die App für den Audioguide des Schlosses Versailles genutzt und war leider insgesamt enttäuscht. Zwar ist die App kostenlos und erspart einem zunächst die 5 € für den klassischen Audioguide, doch dieser Vorteil wird durch zahlreiche Probleme schnell relativiert. Bereits zu Beginn fällt auf, dass man zwar Deutsch als Sprache für die Audiotracks auswählen kann, die App selbst jedoch nicht auf Deutsch verfügbar ist. Hier stehen nur Englisch, Französisch und Spanisch zur Auswahl. Ich persönlich komme damit zurecht, da ich der englischen Sprache mächtig bin. Für ältere Mitmenschen oder Personen mit geringeren Sprachkenntnissen stellt dies jedoch eine echte Hürde dar. Diese können die App kaum sinnvoll nutzen und sind somit gezwungen, den kostenpflichtigen Audioguide zu nehmen. Auch die Navigation innerhalb der App ist wenig benutzerfreundlich. Die Audiotracks sind zwar thematisch gegliedert, jedoch ist es sehr schwierig herauszufinden, welcher Bereich zu welchem Raum gehört, da dies vor Ort nirgends klar angekündigt wird. Zwar sind die einzelnen Tracks nummeriert, doch diese Nummern in den Räumen zu finden, ist oft mühsam und aufgrund der vielen Besucher sehr unübersichtlich. Dadurch kam es bei mir mehrfach vor, dass ich die falschen Audiotracks angehört habe. Hinzu kommen inhaltliche Schwächen. Während der Audios sind mir Fehler aufgefallen, so wurde beispielsweise in einem Satz von Ludwig XV. gesprochen und im nächsten Satz dieselbe Person fälschlicherweise als Ludwig XIV. bezeichnet. Insgesamt bleiben die Informationen zudem recht oberflächlich und konzentrieren sich hauptsächlich auf die beschriebenen Gemälde, anstatt stärker auf die historische Bedeutung des Ortes einzugehen. Alles in allem ist die App daher keine echte Alternative zum kostenpflichtigen Audioguide und aus meiner Sicht nicht zu empfehlen.
中文只有幾個區域有介紹，就算是英文也不完整。
為何不把全部好好的做完？
Floor Plan
I love the in depth writing and audio for each room
Useless
There are audio numbers on some of the rooms, but they don’t seem to match up with the numbers on the map of the palace, I think they match a purchased audio guide. Room numbers are hard to find to figure out where you are so you can follow the tour in the app. Putting some QR codes inside for at least making the numbers match the room numbers on the interactive map would help a lot or a way to enter the number of the room you are in to get oriented
Gute App, aber vorher alles herunterladen
Der Empfang vor Ort ist ziemlich mies. Wenn aber alles runtergeladen ist, funktioniert sie gut
Bodenlos
Zwar kostenlos aber unübersichtlich und unvollständig.
Pas à jour
L’application ne précise pas les endroits fermés à la visite (appartements des filles du roi, salles dans le grand trianon, salle du jeu de paume). Les commentaires audio sont pratiques et intéressants. Le plan manque de clarté.
Excellent app
This free app was excellent. Wish every venue provided this instead of the physical audio guides! Best to download all audio tracks ahead of time. It takes some practice to get used to it. Spend the first few minutes at the start getting familiar with the maps versus the audio guides. The numbers in the plaques in the rooms match the audio tracks and you can “search” and enter the room number and that takes you to the proper track within the map view of that section. Many rooms are back to back so you can use the next/previous buttons. It is FAR to walk to the Trianons from the palace, and the trains are a bit slow so allow about 2.5 hrs if you want to visit them.
Worthless
I downloaded this app because it was the one recommended by the Chateau. However, none of the titles of the audio tours matched the rooms and the map was not searchable. The result was that I didn’t use it at all on our visit.
Ausreichend für einen Besuch
Auf der Hauptroute durch das Schloss sind alle Audios auf Deutsch vorhanden. Man kann sich den kostenpflichtigen Audioguide (5 EUR in 2023) eigentlich sparen und kann mit der App und eigenen Kopfhörern eigentlich sogar besser agieren. Die interaktive Karte der App ist sehr hilfreich für Orientierung auf dem gesamten Gelände. Auch Räume, die nicht öffentlich zugänglich sind, sind in der App zumindest auf Englisch kurz beschrieben.
Billets sur application
Il est regrettable de ne pas avoir un onglets billets dans l application pour retrouver toutes ses réservations
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.
Parfait !
L’application est parfaite. Le Château est magnifique, époustouflant. Nous sommes énormément reconnaissants d’avoir pu explorer un tel endroit. Merci aux ouvriers qui ont créé l’appli !
Unnecessary
This app is required to get access to Versailles, but is totally wasteful. They could simply send the barcode to enter via email.
Empfehlenswert
Kurze, interessante Informationen zu den einzelnen Zimmern. Leider noch nicht für alle Bereiche des Schlosses verfügbar, ansonsten sehr einfach in der Handhabung, informativ und kurzweilig für einen Besuch des Schlosses und einen entspannten Überblick wirklich gut zu empfehlen. Wir waren froh, dass wir uns die App runtergeladen hatten, für einen Besuch auf Schloss Versailles.
You get what you pay for
App is unintuitive to navigate. Instead of typing in the code displayed in each room, you must navigate on a map or find the right section of the tour. App frequently "resets", and requires download of audio content vs. streaming.
Thank You
I was incredibly impressed with this application. The mapping and especially the audio tour was essential for our visit. Bringing a comfy set of headphones was great for the day.
Dommage
“Visited” in October 2023, the month of the bomb threats. Didn’t get to see much, especially after jumping through hoops to get a ticket. Not worth it at all, as we had to leave.
Amélioration
Bonjour, L'application est très belle mais il est fort regrettable de ne pas y trouver une partie dédiée à l'histoire de chacun de ses grands personnages, comme c'est le cas sur la version du site. Ça tendrait l'application plus complète et consultable hors ligne.
Not user friendly
A lot info, but difficult to use when touring.
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.
App leaves a lot to be desired
This app has real problems when you’re on the main state bedrooms. It works pretty good but finding your way to other areas in Versailles Palace is very very difficult! They don’t give you many points of reference and they don’t really give you any idea on different sections of the palace. It should be laid out much better in my opinion. This really Means you should probably get the main audio to her from Versailles and buy it on site. Don’t lose this app!
Information a mettre a jour
L’app est assez bien fait. Nous avons pu profiter de l’audio, des plans et.des autres services. L’app est super ergonomique et la prise en main aisée. Seule bémol les informations sur l’ouverture des accès (Notamment les accès au petit trianon et hameau de la Reine- actuellement fermés) ne sont pas mis à jour. Cela nous a causé une perte de temps et de fatigue pour faire des allers et retours entre les différentes portes.
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.
Outil parfait
Le Château et ses 400 ans ont su se mettre à la page! C’est super de pouvoir sillonner ce magnifique endroit tout en ayant les explications dans les écouteurs. L’app est super bien faite, intuitive, claire et complète. Bravo!
Won’t work without internet
It says it works entirely without an internet connection but … I got to Versailles and tried to use it. At best I could get into the app where I found it just had links to download different things, which seemed odd for an app that says it didn’t need an internet connection. I tried again and it just wouldn’t go past the starting screen. I think it checks for updates, so if you’re in airplane mode that just fails and you get the option to download things, I’d your in Versailles with no functioning connection it just hangs. So if you open the app before going, go into all the sections and download everything, then go into airplane mode then maybe? But if you just get the app believing what it says about not needing internet then best case it’s useless, worst case it won’t even open. Just some really WEIRD decisions for a supposedly offline app.
Ottima applicazione...ma...
Non è prevista la lingua italiana tra le scelte !! Peccato
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.
Indispensable
J’ai rarement vu une application avec ce niveau de qualité. L’appli affiche clairement les variations d’affluence pour chacun des lieux emblématiques du château et propose même un parcours optimal pour les jours de forte fréquentation. Pour les passionnés d’histoire, des vidéos traitant différents sujets relatifs à Versailles sont disponibles, ainsi que des contenus bonus délivrés lors de l’un des trois parcours incluent : éléments factuels, anecdotes ou encore informations architecturales, rien n’est laissé de côté ! C’est vraiment l’appli indispensable pour une visite réussie.
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…

Dans l’expo Visiteurs à Versailles, l’audio de la séquence 14 est identique à celui de la séquence 13. À corriger !
Zwei Sterne weil kostenlos
Vieles wie die Nummerneingabe funktionierte nicht. Viele Teile des Schlosses noch nicht erfasst Einziger Vorteil: Kostenfrei Viel Luft nach oben
Nouvelle appli au top!
Nouvelle appli bien mieux que l'ancienne! Facilité de navigation, qualité des images, audio guides disponibles pour la visite
Beautiful place pathetic website
The website and trying to purchase tickets is such a pain, been trying for 2 days, 3 different computers, 4 different CC, and still couldn’t book.
Definitely recommend!!
I love this app!! Recommend if your traveling to Versailles to see what you want to see on your first or next visit!! 👍👍
Bad
Terribly designed
