User reviews

Broken controls

Good content, but the controls are broken. On the Grand Canal tour, moving the slider does nothing. Worse, trying to skip to other tracks started the recording over - making the whole thing useless.

What happened?

This app was great until I tried using it recently. It freezes up. Any pause restarts it at the beginning. Can no longer slide audio bar. Tapping on walking tour chapters doesn’t take you to the audio portion. Deleted and reloaded-no joy. Please fix! This app is great (when it works)!!

Doesn't pause

When you pause, it goes back to the beginning. You are unable to move forward in the recording

An Abject Failure

Can’t pause a track (without it forcing you back to the beginning) or skip ahead. Completely and utterly useless

Big in playback

I have used this app previously, and it was great. I would’ve highly recommended it. Although, on the current version of the app, there is a bug in the playback so you can’t change the speed, skip ahead, skip chapters, etc. and sometimes when you pause the audio, and you start it again, playback jumps back to the start. It’s not really usable. Not that big of a deal? Yes, it really is when you’re planning a trip with the intention of using the app. For that reason, I can’t recommend using it.
