Ratings and reviews

It was such a new idea and a very low cost. So, we decided to try it. We paid for the app, put my phone on the stand in our own car, and started. It showed a route line to follow and had geo circles drawn on that line. Every time, our car went through the geo circle, the app started talking about that location. It was like magic.

It was a great experience! Highly recommend reading the info before you go and finding your starting location. The app works with your location service so there's no way to get lost. Loved the "learn more" feature! Excellent directions and additional touring information.

The app was extremely bad and unusable while driving and hence i couldn't use it. Can you please refund the purchase? Biggest Issue: App has access to the GPS location of my phone and hence it should automatically detect where the user is (and which direction he is driving) and the audio guide point should trigger the event announcement for that location automatically. Several other apps i have used works the same way. In this app i have to tap every location point and keep searching! NO USE!
