### 1/5 — Not Free

*2023-11-27*

Seemed like a really cool app that we scanned at the public hall but to get the walking tour you have to pay $4 per course. It doesn’t explain this until after you have used about 0.5GB to download the app and the videos which if you are using an esim is inconvenient and expensive. Too bad, seemed like a cool app! Surprised it’s not free since it is for local architecture tourism.
