### 1/5 — Crashes constantly.  Audio never works.

*2019-03-15, version 4.6*

In reply to your response....it wasn’t network speed...it literally had to load 231 files every time the app opened which took about five minutes.  Clearly a glitch.  On top of that, the current version of the app doesn’t load anything at all.  It’s essentially a blank page.

It is a good concept but its execution is basically non existent.

Original review:  This application is simply a complete waste of money.  Every time I open it, it has to “load files” for five minutes.  The highly touted audio never works and causes the app to crash completely.  Unless it is completely overhauled, it is a complete waste of money.  Speaking of money, I want a refund.

**Developer response:** Hello, please be sure to use our 4.6 version, pubblished by Apple on the store the same day of your first review.
This version fixed a bug that in certain situations crashed the app for corrupted files download.
(try to delete the app, download it again from store and retry). Naturally you can ask a refund to Apple direclty or contact us: info@italyguides.it for help.
