## What is PodWalk?

PodWalk writes you an audio walking tour for any place on Earth — your hometown, a back-road village, a neighbourhood no guidebook has bothered with.

Type a place. We generate a real route, a stop every few minutes, narrated by a warm, knowledgeable voice. Pop in headphones and start walking. The next stop's narration begins automatically when you arrive.

It works in famous cities and in the small towns nobody else has gotten around to recording.

——

HOW IT WORKS

• Type any place — town, neighbourhood, even your own street
• We write the walk — a real route, narrated stops every few minutes
• Audio plays as you arrive — geofenced, hands-free, in your pocket

——

WHAT MAKES PODWALK DIFFERENT

Most audio-tour apps ship a finite catalogue: the same 30 famous cities, curated by hand. PodWalk doesn't depend on someone having already recorded a tour. We write one for wherever you point at — Bloemendaal, Reykjavík, the village down the road from where you grew up.

If a place has streets and a story, it has a walk.

WHO IT'S FOR

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-07-27

Tap a link, land on the walk
Found a PodWalk walk on the web? Tapping it now opens that exact walk in the app, ready to start. And if you installed PodWalk from a walk page, the app opens on that walk the first time you launch it.

Also in this update:
• A heads-up before your pass runs out, so walks you have already paid for don't quietly expire.
• Fixes to notifications, store links and the audio you hear at the end of a free preview.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-07

Tell us how your walk went
When you finish a walk, you can now rate it and share feedback right inside the app — it helps us make every tour better.

Also in this update:
• The feedback screen now opens as a clean modal that's easy to dismiss.
• A tidier walk library and map, plus performance improvements and small fixes.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-02

Your first walk is on us 
New to PodWalk? Claim your free walk — create your own guided audio tour anywhere in the world, or unlock any walk from the map.

• Performance improvements and small fixes.
