### 4/5 — Tour was excellent, app has a few minor issues

*2023-08-21, version 7.3.95*

First, the tour itself was an excellent overview of Amsterdams red lights district and I loved the little secrets along the way. I will say realistically the tour did not take fifty minutes more like two hours so be prepared for that. 

The app has a few issues. The GPS is really sensitive and several tour stops are close to one another so it will skip to a new section in the middle of your current section a lot and it’s pretty irritating when it happens. You can’t turn it off without also turning the map off. Also I really wish there was a way to play the audio at 1.5x to go a little faster. I found myself just reading a few stops. 

Overall though this was a great part of my trip and I liked the inclusion of other voices like the police officer and archaeologist. I’d recommend it for the money.
