Love the idea of this app but….
I was so excited to see an app like this. I just wish the area that I am passionate about has absolutely no stories. Hayward, Wisconsin has so much history with logging as well as Ojibwa Indian history. It is currently a very popular tourist destination. The Lumberjack World Championships and the American Birkebeiner cross country ski race is hosted there. Visitors come from all over the world. And yet… there are no historical stories of this area?Show lessJoanne3817
Amazing!
This is an amazing app! My son who has a TBI and unable to travel, loves this app! It has captured his attention from the very first location we selected. Very articulate narrators, lots of information for the locations, and easy to use. I highly recommend this app for anyone!Moonflower Nights
Interesting & Informative… When it works!
We live in the Mountain West and love to travel and adventure throughout the western states. We subscribed on a trip from L.A. to Salt Lake City and loved the stories, but after 2-3 stories, the app would quit playing and just spin and buffer, despite having full bars of coverage and being able to surf the ‘net. Force quitting and restarting the app sometimes worked, but that just became too frustrating (and dangerous while driving) so we went back to satellite radio. It would be great if the app allowed you to plan a trip and pre-download stories, even if they auto-delete after a certain number of days. Until then, this is just a 2-star app.Show lessAV8NDAD

Thank you for the feedback, it is really helpful as we're always looking to make improvements. We do offer the ability to download stories and stream them while offline. We're working on some updates that will make this process even easier. In the meantime, we'd love the opportunity to troubleshoot the problems you had on your recent trip, please reach me directly at woody@hearhere.com or at support@hearhere.com and we will get you taken care of. Thank you, Woody Sears Founder/CEOToo much slavery and Indian history. Could definitely be better
This app started out good so we bought the annual membership. Come to find out most of the history focuses on Indian history and lots of talk about slavery. Not to say that’s not a part of history but I’m tired of it being the only focus these days. More brainwashing. Disappointed. I would like to hear more history about the cities and I know there’s plenty of info that could be included instead.Show lesssmoff76
Potential but Uncertain
On a recent outing and decided to try the app as I knew my father who can’t read anymore, would love hearing the history while driving of certain points along the drive. The app promises 5 free stories before choosing a subscription. I only got 3. I chose to it listen to some of the stories because I looked ahead to the topics but I think it may have counted the ones I skipped as the free stories? From what I heard, they were interesting and well delivered, but I’m uncertain about subscribing but I love the concept. A little concern is how it counted my “free” stories and if it has hashed out all the bugs and working ability.Show lessHHCov

Thanks for writing us and thank you for giving HearHere a try. We’d be happy to refill your free stories so you can get a better sample. Please send me an email at woody@hearhere.com and we’ll get you taken of. Woody Sears Co-Founder/CEOAwesome Awesome App!
We recently traveled from OH to VA to see Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello with a short side trip to Schuyler (pronounced Skyler) VA to see “Walton’s Mountain”. Listening to the stories of the people, places and history while we were on the West Virginia Turnpike was so interesting and all the other stories we heard while on our trip. We even started listening while driving around our home town! We immediately subscribed to the 3-year plan because we KNOW we will use it often. Good job to all the people behind this amazing app! Thank you!!Show lessDede9075

So glad to hear it! Please keep the feedback coming as we’re always delighted to hear from our listeners.Less surfing on Google 😃
We drive a great deal. We used to surf Google just to read up and learn about the history on different areas. This APP already maps out places of interest and narrates information! What a great idea! Thank you!TravelersRestTeam
Recently subscribed - glad I did!
I love the idea of this platform - so I thought I’d give it a go, and subscribe. I was not disappointed!
We recently went on a major road trip from Raleigh, NC to Austin, TX and back. Along the way, we listened to great stories of people and places throughout the Southeast US - from the 1600’s to present day. Even before leaving Raleigh, we learned things about this area that we never knew. Fascinating stuff!!
HearHere will continue to accompany us every time we travel, both locally and long distance. Great road companion!

Neat and informational app but inconsistent sound quality and still buggy.
I was looking for an app like this since I first started using an app GyPSy on a trip to Maui. I like HearHere and got a three-year subscription. It’s great to listen to while driving around but there is one annoying issue - sound quality is inconsistent (especially the narration by Bill Werlin). Need to turn the volume up and down based on the speakers, and Bill in particular is some times hard to hear even at max volume. Also, there could have been a couple more basic features - search by address or location, or map out a route and download selected or all audios along that route. It also crashes occasionally. Nonetheless, I recommend this app with a solid 4 stars. It’s not as good as GyPSy but complements it in my Travel apps folder. I hope to see improvements with time.Show lessSrinimaverick
