You can add ‘favorites’ which help you return to the places you have selected.

Explore without getting lost …
Thanks to the interactive map, it’s easy to find services (Wi-Fi, toilets, restaurants, etc.) and places of interest in the Palace, the Gardens of Versailles (the Groves, the Orangery, Latona Fountain…), the Trianon Estate (Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon, the Queen’s Hamlet...) and the Park (the Grand Canal, the Royal Star...).

Using geolocation you can quickly see which services and places of interest are close by.

User reviews
The app doesn't really work, none of the audio tours get past ~20-30 seconds, the voice cuts out mid word. The app easily gets glitched and stuck in one particular audio tour, even when you click out it still goes back and resumes/plays the first audio tour that you clicked on when you started the app. When you try to download more audio tours their download progress freezes up and never fully downloads. Not worth downloading, just use their machines, this app is terrible

I installed the app, downloaded all audio guides in advance of my visit and played a few minutes of a couple of audio guides to ensure they worked well. Once at Versailles, I opened the app, and it showed 'no audio guides downloaded'. Total waste of time!

Useless, audio guide is not automatically downloaded so not sure what the point of this app is other than a waste of data and space on your phone
