★★★★ Bones 3/11/2026
Ads make this app unusable
★★★★ Tito Tim 3/11/2026 v3.6.5
Far too many ads to even try its usefulness. Is it worth buying? I will never know... 🏝️🍹😎
★★★★ Sara Brandão 3/2/2026 v3.6.6
Its a scam!! I got charged twice for the free trial (immediately), and when I cancelled and tried to get a refund, the app told me I had to request it via the Google playstore and the Google playstore told me they don't have responsibility for refunds for this app! do not sign up for the free trial!!
★★★★ Chris Brown 2/3/2026 v3.6.5
you download it, sign up for subscription, and it still does nothing. it just blinks when you click on anything. waste of time and money.
★★★★ Katia Nepom 12/26/2025 v3.6.5
not many tours and the one available wouldn't download
★★★★ Itay Davidson 11/24/2025 v3.6.5
No audio guides as advertised. Even if they do exist - they are impossible to find. Very bad experience
★★★★ Eamonn Mc Keon 10/24/2025 v3.6.4
subscribed to free trial and it didn't work!
★★★★ Ettai Markovits 10/15/2025 v3.6.3
Really bad app, the walkthroughs are hard to follow, the explanations were not good and not interesting. I used it for half a day and requested a refund and they refused. Do not download this app, it's a total waste of money.
★★★★ Jim White 10/15/2025
very intrusive advertising takes you out of the app. every time you try to look atca map or article you have to deal with it. You're better off finding a good blogger
★★★★ Wout Geboers 10/14/2025
asks for subscription after install, scam
★★★★ Leslie Mason 10/7/2025 v3.6.2
rubbish app. won't let me download anything. keeps saying down failed... no vpn at all in use
★★★★ Rob S 10/7/2025 v3.6.2
downloads don't work
★★★★ Bastiaan Grisèl 9/29/2025 v3.6.2
You have pay to use GPS
★★★★ Paul Creedon 7/30/2025
Scam, offers free maps until you try and open one, then they want $15 US for the 'free' 3 day trial.
★★★★ Avi Parshan 7/27/2025
too many things are locked behind a paywall .. even the offline guide
★★★★★ David Fourie 3/29/2026 v3.6.7

★★★★★ Michael Ernst 12/23/2025 v3.6.5
I bought this for the NYC DUMBO tour. That tour was no more than a line on a map, with no commentary and no points of interest besides the Brooklyn Bridge. This app did me no good, so I found another app with a DUMBO tour that has 28 points of interest, each with a paragraph of description.
★★★★★ Ryan 12/7/2025 v3.6.5
great concept, but feels completely made my A.I. lacking personality, excitement, and missing key spots in a lot of cities. going to just research ahead of time.
★★★★★ Daniel Jessberger 10/17/2025
Poor audio quality. Sounds like a robot. Immediately cancelled and uninstalled.
★★★★★ Victoria Harrison 8/14/2025 v3.6.1
I hoped I would be able to use this to create walking tours of the cities I visit but there are not many tours within each country and frustratingly I can't add my own. it could do with a map facility so people can share their own tours.
