I downloaded the app and opened the free part of a paid tour without problem. Decided to purchase the tour, but the app wouldn't give me access to the full tour. Granted full permission, uninstalled and reinstalled. Tried my wife's phone - all to no avail. Quite frustrating when we had limited time available.
