Not nearly as informative as I had hoped

Granted, it didn't cost much but, I had hoped I would get so much more information about the monuments than I did.

In one case, Jefferson Monument entry seemed to be devoted to be besmirching his memory by talking about him being a slave owner, and fathering several children with one of his slaves. I went to the Martin Luther King Jr. monument and nothing was said about his mistresses. Weird.
It seemed it was a hack job on Thomas Jefferson, one of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Bias aside, I just didn't feel it was a very valuable app. I do not recommend.

Informative

Good content, but your phone screen has to be on or the audio stops playing which makes it a bit temperamental to use.

Thanks for the feedback! I've just changed the code, to prevent your phone from going into 'sleep' mode while the app is open. So, now the audio will continue to play even if you're not interacting with your device. This update will be available in the App Store tomorrow. Great tip, thank you!

Well worth the $2 price

We were lucky enough to visit Washington while the cherries were in bloom. We wanted to do as much as we could outside, to enjoy the trees. This app fit the bill. We were able to see all the monuments along the National Mall, starting and stopping the tour when we wanted. It is a lot of walking! Bring strollers for the little ones. Also, if you have a splitter for your earbuds, two people can listen at once.

So glad to hear you enjoyed the tour! I hope you had a good trip. And, thanks for the tips.

Well done app

The audio really helped us appreciate each monument, we all learned something new at each stop. It was easy to follow the map, too. 5 stars!

App will not load

I just paid $1.99 for this app and it will not open. I'm running iOS 11.3. I have tried restarting my phone, uninstalling the app and reinstalling, etc. All to no avail. Please fix the app or refund my $1.99 before my upcoming trip to DC next week. Thanks.

Hello, I'm so sorry to hear you're having trouble loading the app. It should work fine with iOS 11.3 - quite a few people have loaded it successfully. Could it be a GPS issue with your phone, or possibly your settings (is GPS turned on)? It is easy to return an app on the apple.com site - please contact me at info@intownadventure.com and I'll walk you through it.

Very satisfied!

The monuments in DC are so beautiful, so moving, that you really want to spend a while at each one taking it all in. This tour lets you do that. We spent 2 days on the monuments and another 2 days at the museums, and would’ve spent more time if we’d had it. We started the tour, took a break for lunch, then toured some more. Definitely cue up the audio, as there are some fun facts in there, and don’t forget to turn your GPS on.

Good tips, thank you!!

Excellent way to see DC

This app shows you the sights of Washington and allows you to go at your own speed. I like guided tours, too, but sometimes it's nice to escape the big tour groups and go off on your own. The app is perfect for that.

Great tour, great value!

This was one of the highlights of our DC trip. The app was well done, and for just $2 two of us (we had a splitter) could walk the sights at our own pace. No in-app purchases, no advertising, no tips for the guide needed at the end of the tour... great!

Extremely helpful

Great app for walking or biking. Very useful, well implemented, totally worth three bucks. A few minor things missing (e.g. Ford's Theater) but it has all the main sights. I also used the free iTrans DC app (for the Metro lines).
