Interesting, informative and accurate!
We have listened to the app on several road trips and have discovered some new attractions and learned a lot of new things about our home state of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Listening near the Columbia River gorge, we HAD to go over the Bridge of the Gods! We hadn’t ever seen or heard of it until this app! The first thing I did is test the accuracy of our hometown and it was spot on! Such a great idea!

Great!
So easy to use and the whole family enjoys the app. Graphics are beautiful and it’s easy to use. What a fantastic concept and creation!
Not sure it’s ready for release
I got an email that this app was now released and was a little disappointed to find out that this is a subscription only plan (outside of a free trial). However I’m not upset about that and I understand why it would be a paid subscription.
The main issue is that I turned on my location and it gave me several neighborhoods (yes, neighborhoods, not towns or cities) near me. Odd but ok. Then I go to play one of the story categories (surprised that my area selection did not influence the story category options) and it starts telling me a story about some random place - a new place each category that I’ve never heard of, nor know where it thinks I am.
So I don’t think this is ready for release. Or if this is the free trial to just give you random stories that have nothing to do with your current location - that’s a pointless free trial. It just seems to me like it doesn’t work.

Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback! We have updated this issue in the app to ensure location and story accuracy is consistent. There are no random stories and we list specific and hyper-local areas for relevance (not just major cities and towns) so you have more options and detail on storytelling in your nearby area. Please continue to enjoy the app and if you spot any other areas you feel can be improved, let us know at hello@drivestories.com
