Takes a long time to load each screen. You MUST stand in front of the AR plaque or else all content on the screen goes away. This is terrible. If more than one person is in the same spot you're out of luck if you wanted to read anything or see the historic overlay. This project would have been better as physical panels of acrylic glass with the art instead of an app.

Only being able to use ear plugs is unfavorable. For a paid app I would like to be able to relisten and look at the scenery after I get home because you miss things on the walking tour. There should be an option to view all of the same imagery and data through the app when you are not on site.

NO SPEAKER AUDIO. MUST HAVE HEADPHONES CONNECTED. I Don't carry headphones. Terrible design. Who thought this would be a good idea? WHY?

Sorry you didn't enjoy your experience. To be clear, headphones are not necessary to use the tour. The app has two modes 'normal' and 'audio enhanced' and the mode is set automatically if headphones are connected. Because the tour is in an outdoor, public setting, using the speakers would either be hard to hear or might disturb other visitors.
