User reviews

Very Good

We visit Boston monthly and never tire of walking the Trail. This app is the best of the Freedom Trail apps. However, the photo of BLM terrorists and their supporters is absolutely unnecessary. Makes this tourism app politically charged.

Totally Worth It

Used this on our recent trip to Boston. Excellent info for each stop on the Freedom Trail. Grateful for all the extras about women and BIPOC included.

Spotty recording

As my family used the app, the recording would skip in places.

Lots of fun, easy to use

A great way to experience the Freedom Trail even during the pandemic. Learned lots of fun new things, and the narration was very polished and well-done.

Help and other content missing

Some pages in the app have images, but it’s like all text is missing. No transcripts for the tour audio, and the “Tips & General Info,” “Help,” and “About” pages don’t have any content. (I’m using iOS 13.3)
