I downloaded the app to use with my French Phrase Book and the only options are London and New York. There is no option to add another language or location. ### 1/5 — Can’t scan the barcode *2023-02-01, version 1.4.20* Was looking forward to listening to these but just unable to scan the code. ### 1/5 — Dk eyewitness *2023-01-20* The book is fine but I am unable to use the scanning feature in the Audio walks app ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-01-20, version 1.4.20* Scanned the book code to unlock walls but audio guide “download failed”. Tried several things including deleting the app and downloading again, but no change. And it looks from the comments here that this isn’t a new issue ### 1/5 — Barcode doesn’t work *2022-11-26, version 1.4.20* Why aren’t they fixing this? ### 1/5 — No zero star available *2022-10-30, version 1.4.20* Such a disappointment that whilst the books are so good this (excellent idea) free walking door simply doesn’t work. Brand new NYC book. Brand new app download and the barcode won’t scan. Also to download the ‘free’ walks you have to buy the london guide! Why would I want a london guide when I live there and want to know about NYC? Come on guys you’re better than this …. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2022-05-20, version 1.4.20* Bought brand new 2022 New York guide and doesn’t even scan barcode, so totally pointless. They should be done for false advertising!! ## Frequently asked questions about DK Eyewitness Audio Walks ### What does the DK Eyewitness Audio Walks app do?
