### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-11-03*

Bought this app while we were in Philly. Have no idea what it was supposed to do, as soon as you open the app, it closes. If you can get the app to stay open as soon as you press anything (Menu, Play, the Map, Volume up) it closes again. 
I just reset the app and tried opening it again, several hours later, still closes right away. 

I will be asking for a refund.

**Developer response:** We apologize! As you see both negative reviews were within a few days of each other.  A problem with our system occurred due to a system update.  The problem has been fixed and the App is ready for use again. The SelfTour team is as upset as you are that this happened and for inconveniences that occurred.  Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention.  Hundreds of users have enjoyed this App prior to this problem and we look forward to many others enjoying it in the future.

### 1/5 — Apps does does not work

*2019-10-31*

The App does not work. Non of the Audios are playing!

### 1/5 — Don’t do it!

*2019-10-20*

I bought this app and nothing worked besides the intro!!  Deleted and reloaded and still didn’t work, would close as soon as I clicked on a location-total waste of money and a scam app!!!  Should be ZERO stars....

**Developer response:** We are concerned with what happened to cause your bad experience with this tour.  Many of used it successfully.  Your harsh comments seem out of place.  We offer you the opportunity to contact us to discuss these with a tech team so that we can be sure others don't have the same problems.   Thank you for contacting us.

### 5/5 — A useful guide to a great city!

*2019-02-09*

I used the audio tour for my first visit to Phily and I’m so happy I did. It optimized the one day I had to do some historical sightseeing. The audio is interesting, historically accurate and entertaining with some patriotic and classical background music. Not to mention that this is a very affordable alternative to commercial tours offered throughout the city. The GPS navigation was a lifesaver not knowing where all the interesting and important sites were. Highly reccomended!

**Developer response:** Our team wants to thank you for your heartwarming comments. We worked hard to create an experience, not just a tour.  By adding the showbiz elements including talented narrators,  music and sound effects, and taking a storytelling approach our goal was to immerse the user into the story of the struggle brave men and women took to create a new nation.  Your supportive review is much appreciated.

### 5/5 — Great walking tour

*2018-10-08*

Thanks you for putting this tour together. It was very informative and kept us interested with all the added music and voice overs. We liked being able to tour at our own pace.

**Developer response:** Many have sent notes to us stating that they appreciated these same traits of this tour experience.  So we much appreciate that you took the time to state it publicly.  It is our hope that you will have the opportunity to try another of our tour adventures.  Happy travels!
