### 5/5 — Great Tour if you can’t take a live one

*2024-02-21, version 1.6*

Title: “Immersive Art Deco Exploration”

Review:
“I recently embarked on an Art Deco walking tour using this app, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. With its user-friendly interface and comprehensive content, the app made navigating through 16 iconic locations effortless. Each stop on the tour was accompanied by detailed historic information, enriching my understanding of the Art Deco movement and its impact on the city’s architecture.

What truly sets this app apart is its immersive experience. As I explored each location, I was captivated by the vivid descriptions and historical anecdotes provided, transporting me back in time to the glamorous era of Art Deco design. The seamless integration of audio guides and visual aids further enhanced the experience, allowing me to absorb every detail at my own pace.

Overall, I highly recommend this app to anyone looking to immerse themselves in the captivating world of Art Deco architecture. It’s a must-have companion for anyone exploring Miami Beach Art Deco. Kudos to the developers for creating such a captivating and informative experience!”

### 1/5 — Sorry I bought this tour

*2023-03-04, version 1.5*

My wife and I wanted to tour the Art Deco district of Miami Beach, and bought the tour in this app. Turns out there's a bug/feature in the app that causes Bluetooth earbuds to malfunction. I had one and my wife had the other so we could walk and listen together, but one earbud turned off. I tried two different Bluetooth earbud sets and it caused the same malfunction in both. And I'm sitting in the south Florida heat trying to troubleshoot the app and earbuds while my wife waits. I reset the buds, disconnected and reconnected etc. I tried the earbuds with Spotify and they immediately worked fine again. Back to this this app - same malfunction. I ended up giving my wife both earbuds and I just read the supplied text. 
Second problem - directions are not very clear and the map supplied in the app is not helpful. 
I appreciate the important work of the MDPL, and was happy to support them by buying this tour even though it was pretty expensive for an app-based tour. But I ended up frustrated & regretted my decision. The content was good but the problems with the app ruined the experience.

### 2/5 — Waste of Money

*2023-01-07, version 1.5*

This tour covered only about 10 blocks, while the historic buildings of Miami Beach are over 200.  It did not give any information about the interiors of the hotels. It did not discuss markings for speakeasies. Why a whole app for one tour?  It used up my time and memory on my phone. There wasn’t anything that I wouldn’t have noticed on my own. SHAME ON MDPL!
