Ratings and reviews

Great app. Used this tour for Gettysburg today and we will definitely be using it again! The mapping worked very well, the narration was great. It looks like there are a ton of place where we plan on traveling where there are more tours. It presented a lot of "side quests" as I called them, like optional 30 minute walks for additional content. The price was really good for what you get. We'll definitely be sharing with friends.

We found this app on a whim, downloaded it, and headed out. It was a little confusing at first because we came to the first intersection pointed the wrong way. Once we got going the right direction, we were in business! The narrations were so much fun to have! It was challenging to toggle back and forth between the map and the stories. Watch the YouTube tutorial. We're glad we did it and would recommend it. You get a lot closer to the homes in your car than on the big bus tours.

The app conflicts with Google Auto. The Austin tour tells you to "get in the left lane" several times where doing so would take you directly into oncoming traffic. The tour tells you to turn left into right turns. And the points of interest have less personality and depth than Wikipedia. All in all, a boring, buggy, uninteresting waste of time.
