## What is RoTarih?

RoTarih tells you about a place at the exact moment you pass it.

You pick a route and drive. As you approach an ancient city, a bridge,
a battlefield, its story begins on its own — no screen, no button. It
keeps going with the screen off.

WHAT IS IN IT
• 107 routes: Türkiye, Istanbul walking routes, the Aegean islands,
  Greece, Italy and the Balkan road
• By car or on foot: you choose at the top of the list, and the app
  times the stories to that pace
• 611 stories, each written to the length of the moment you pass
• Two voices in every language, one female and one male
• Offline: a route's audio is downloaded in advance, so no connection is
  needed on the road
• Map, queue and progress: you see what is playing and what is next
• Works with car displays and steering-wheel controls

LANGUAGES
Interface and narration in six languages: Turkish, English, Arabic,
Italian, German, Spanish. Routes in Türkiye, Istanbul and the Aegean
islands are ready in all six. Routes in Greece, Italy and the Balkan
road currently have Turkish and English narration; the other languages
are being added in later releases.

HOW IT WORKS
Your location is what starts a story. The app measures the real distance
to the point and your speed, and starts the story so that it ends just
as you pass. That is why it asks for background location; the reason is
shown on screen before the permission dialog.

To try it without driving, the "Simulate the route" button next to every
route plays it at twelve times speed with no location permission.

PURCHASES
Three routes of your choosing are free. After that you buy routes one by
one or as a regional pack, which opens every route in that region.

PRIVACY
No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no advertising. Your location
never leaves your device.
