User Reviews for Hearst Castle

WOW

Love the interactive map and the 360 view. Hearst Castle is an awesome place and this app really enhances the experience. I used the app before the tour to do a little background and then revisited it again when I was done. Keep adding and making it even more informative!

DURING/POST-COVID July 2022

You can no longer freely explore the grounds of Hearst Castle so the app is pointless. You must remain with your tour group so you’re only seeing things that are included in your tour. Don’t waste your time, data, storage or battery usage as you’ll just delete it after realizing you can’t use it. lol good luck!

Easy to use!

This app was easy to download, easy to use & easy to follow. Love how it gives you a narrative of what you’re looking at. Thanks!

Very Cool

I usually don’t write reviews since lots of apps (free ones at least) can be tried out without any “strings attached”. However, this app is just plain cool. It’s so easy to see where you are in relation to the tour you’re on and orient yourself to the castle. It runs flawlessly and smoothly and has amazing detail. Hearst Castle is a pretty cool place. Too bad WR Hearst was such a piece of trash.

It’s a free app

It’s a good app, it tells you what you need to now, there for your not lost & if you get lost, you will find we’re you are very quick...Further more, it gives you information about the section you are standing by, GET IT.

Ignore the usual complainers

This app is terrific, like almost everyone on here has expressed. For those complaining about poor reception, etc...it's not the app, its your phone, carrier, and lack of phone settings knowledge. I can tell by the complaints that it's one or all the reasons above. The app has almost 5 stars for a reason, its easy to use, and definitely a must for receiving their latest travel and ticket information.Ignore the handful of people that shouldn't have phones if they don't know how to use them.

Amazing app for a tour of the Hearst Castle

What a Delight!

Glad to see this is kept up to date. The photographs and written/ spoken text are works of art in their own right. Well done, all!

Unusable

This app is basically unusable. At the Hearst Castle itself, cell reception is kind of poor and there are too many people trying to access the Internet at once, so it’s hard to download anything. Every time I open the app it goes to “Checking for New Content” and eventually gets an error with the only option on the error message being to “Try Again”. How about an option to not check for new content all the time or at least function with original content when new content download fails?

Easy to use and beautiful

I love the interface, the layout, and the overall functionality. The castle was nice, but the app is what made the visit AWESOME
