What's New in Duane

1.2

September 30, 2026

Big one, y'all. Duane reads every marker himself now. Classic Texas, the marker's own words, is in his voice on more than 15,000 markers, and it's free for everyone. Your phone's voice only fills in when there's no signal. Tall Tale Mode nearly doubles. More than 13,000 markers now have Duane's campfire retelling, including thousands more in the Everything setting. A few smaller things: - Navigate opens Google Maps by default (Apple Maps if you don't have it). Change it anytime in Tune. - Your music pauses while Duane talks, then picks right back up. Rather have it turned down? Flip it in Tune. - Fixed missing accents in dozens of marker names, like La Sociedad Mutualista Cuauhtémoc. - More markers sorted into themes in Explore. Every one of these stories has its own page on heyduane.com too.

Favorite new app

Duane is the man! This is such a great app and I highly encourage everyone to download it who has an interest in Texas history or all of those roadside markers that we always drive by on road trips but where our wives never let us stop and read them. But it’s better than just reading the signs because Duane adds color and interesting facts along with the historical marker information. I love that I can just open it up and it can cruise with me on a road trip so our family can learn about Texas history and interesting places that we’re passing while driving.

Texan Must-Have

My brother turned me on to this app. I have been waiting for this app forever! I would love to stop and read every historical marker but I needed to get to where I need to go. This app doesn’t just read the marker. It expands the story of the marker. Well done!
