Ratings and reviews

an uninspiring app. which provides good basic information & a map about how Skyrail works, but it's mostly superfluous - if you're not sure about something, just ask the staff- all the staff I met were patient, helpful & enthusiastic - the app. isn't needed. The audio guide is fairly pathetic - a few interesting facts, a bit of marketing to join up with their research foundation, and that's about all you get. I was hoping for much more.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. This app is great to use while travelling on the sky rail. It's a set and forget style. When you start your ride turn it on and as you pass each point of interest it's starts a voice guide to the area. The app even has a section for the walking sites along the journey if you decide to get of at the stops. Worked well, and the added information was like having your own personal tour guide riding with you. Highly Recommend.

App has issues with audio system on Android, on my Google pixel when Bluetooth is toggled this app will launch in the background and play some sort of melody. I was able to repeat this bug on another person's phone after installing the app. How annoying. Edit: it appears it's the music the app plays at the main screen. Again after reinstalling the app, the app will launch in the background when Bluetooth is toggled on and play the music even when the app is not opened by the user.
