### 2/5 — Does not work with wireless headset

*2022-09-24*

I have iPhone AirPods and and iPhone 13 Pro. The wireless headset did not work, and without a headset it is practically impossible to hear the audio in Chinatown given the noisy streets. It is also difficult not to see the images and hear the audio at the same time and the augmented images then don’t make sense without context.  I’ve tried it with another wireless headset as well and still didn’t work. A real shame.

### 5/5 — Innovative!

*2020-09-12*

Love the concept, it’s such a great way to discover Chinatown!
