Ratings and reviews

Good idea, but needs more work. The map constantly zooms around when trying to find a route. You can't rewind commentary if you want to revisit something or realise you are looking at the wrong thing. If you accidentally come out of the walk you are doing there's no easy way back in. Plus some typos which can easily be corrected. Good idea, but I spent a lot of time trying to get back into the walk rather than enjoying the walk.

We've been using the app for lockdown walks round London. We've both lived here for many years and love exploring the city. We love Trail Tales, the walks are interesting and always take us to nooks and crannies we've never been before. We find the audio narrator charming, but her unfamiliarity with what she is reading and misprounciations can be a distraction. Might be worth rerecording with a more confident voiceover. Netherless we had a lovely time doing the Towers tour today. :)

Just downloaded this after seeing an advert on another app! But quite disappointing that there still not much in Yorkshire area, saw a review saying the same 4 YEARS AGO! So why hasn't there been any progress to put more in this area? Which has some really amazing places! So for that I'm uninstalling for now but I'll check back next year to see if you put more in my county!
