★★★★★ "Not impressed. Was really hoping this app worked - I expected it to give verbal routing instructions to the next sight on the route and to start the audio automatically for the sight when you arrive. It did neither! This is the response I got from them…" - Northwood traveler

Disappointed
I paid and not able to log in.. cannot find customer support. Disappointing
Not impressed
Was really hoping this app worked - I expected it to give verbal routing instructions to the next sight on the route and to start the audio automatically for the sight when you arrive. It did neither! This is the response I got from them: “We don't force users to strictly follow the route or listen to audio; people are different and want freedom “
Junk
More ads than info. Every one minute there is an ad
Free Trial Automatically Converts to Paid Version
Tried the free trial and it automatically charged me for a full year at the completion of the trial without any warning.
Not what I expected
I wanted to do a walking tour of Tarragona, Spain with my family. However, there are many places of historic and cultural significance that were not available to add to existing ‘walks’. The two I was trying to add were the Mediterranean Balcony that is less than 500 feet from the Roman amphitheater; and the Roman Aqueduct, which is about few miles from the other ruins but is very much a part of the historical ruins of the Roman era.
I would like a refund, but I am like one day past the 3 day free trial.

App are flooded with ads
Showing adds in each clicks is so ANNOYING
Clickbait
You can’t do anything unless you subscribe.
Google ad ruins it
I tried to use the app and google chrome ads pop ups would not let me me continue
A robot guide
The voice is a robot and only gives minimal info
Trial will renew without warning
This service was just okay. Out wasn’t easy to use and didn’t show me many things I couldn’t have found on my own/for free through Google. I signed up for a trial, and chose to have the system alert me when the trial was over. However, I did not receive an alert and was charged for a subscription that I will not get use out of.
Unusable
Cannot use this app because it keeps throwing up full screen ads for Google Chrome.
Subscription process doesn’t work
Seemed like a good and useful app. Downloaded it and purchased a subscription, which showed as active in the App Store. Didn’t show as valid within the app. Tried to restore the purchase. Didn’t work. Made an account. No effect and still didn’t work. Followed instructions to delete the app and reinstall. Didn’t work. Tried restoring again. Didn’t work. Frustrating and unhelpful.
Edit to respond to the developer response: no, I was not trying to use it on a different device. This all happened on the same device and it was my first time trying a subscription with this app.

Nonsense
Mostly fluff and silliness. Very little actual history and valuable information for the intelligent tourist. Wasted money.
