### 4/5 — Works well

*2019-12-03*

A little slow and cumbersome to navigate but does work. Lots of points of interest. Downloaded easily over WiFi.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2019-07-10, version 1.0.1*

We really enjoyed the walking tour. The app worked well, guiding us around and then providing details when we arrived at each location.

### 4/5 — Works well and has great info!

*2019-06-05*

I don’t know what problem the other reviewer(s) had with this app. I downloaded it and used it during my visit to Basel. All the walking tours were included and a tone indicated whenever we were close to a stop. The narration gave some good stories and historical information at each stop. The only thing I wish was that there were better directions in the app on the routes. There are small signs on street corners showing which way to go but they are sometimes hard to spot or even missing (we saw a place where the street marker was clearly gone). The other problem is this app will drain your phone of energy really fast. Be prepared to use more than one phone or have a way to recharge.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-08-01*

App does not download the city guide ... so it does nothing. Not sure why it is in the App Store.

### 1/5 — Poor experience

*2018-08-01*

App would not download English city guide. Bummer, it looked like a cool guide.

### 1/5 — Crap!

*2018-07-31, version 1.0.1*
