Skip it
Tried to use this app for a walking tour. The UX is awful. Navigation is miserable. You can’t move the map to try to get to the starting place. And because the audio isn’t read by an actual human who knows the area or dialect, the pronunciation is laughable. It makes it genuinely difficult to even understand. I ended up liking VoiceMap MUCH better and bought several tours there that were awesome.

Frustrating App
Agree w other reviewers that note app is frustrating - while the narrative is good, the map function is dizzying (constantly spins!) and ability to pick up where you left off after a stop does not function well.
