Downloaded but ultimately not useful

I downloaded this in San Francisco, hoping that I would follow the path, but we ended up just not using it. So it’s a bit of a waste.

Hi there, I’m sorry to hear the San Francisco tour ended up not being useful for your trip. That’s certainly not the experience I want for my self-guided audio tour. I understand how disappointing it is to download a tour and then feel like it went unused. If you’d like, please contact our support team at support@actiontourguide.com with your booking details, and I’d be happy to offer an alternate tour that may better fit your travel style.

I’ve been using GPS guided tours on the iPhone for about 6 years.
Especially the Hawaii GPS guided tours from another company were great , unfortunately the San Francisco driving GPS tour; great in theory, but doesn’t work in reality. It kept giving us the starting point of Townhall, but then would never give us directions or highlight points

I’m sorry to hear the San Francisco driving tour did not work as expected. That’s certainly not the experience I want for my self-guided audio tour. The GPS-based tour should follow your location and guide you clearly along the route, so I understand how frustrating it must have been when it kept returning to the starting point and did not provide directions or highlight points of interest. Please contact our support team at support@actiontourguide.com with your booking details, and I’d be happy to offer an alternate tour or discuss the possibility of a refund.

Did not connect to GPS

The commentary is pretty good. But it did not sync to GPS location, had to manually play it.

I’m so sorry to hear that! Could you provide more details about the specific route issues encountered? Also, knowing your phone mode would help us in reproducing the issue: support@actiontourguide.com

Lacking…

I use many travel guide apps. This one was difficult to use. It only works in one direction. Which is confusing. I didn’t find the facts very entertaining or informative. I hope my input helps to make this app better.

The tour is only one-way which I tried to make clear by asking visitors to follow the given route. I’ll highlight that part even more!

Needs attention

I wanted to give this app 5 stars but I couldn’t. We were in SF for one day and decided to use this to see the city. The app offers a few tours and we picked San Francisco. Everything seemed great but then I noticed that a bunch of stops were missing from what I was expecting. Well they are buried in the app and you have to find them. Once I found the correct tour with all the stops and tried to start it, it keep closing on me at the end of each stop😪. I had to re-open the app and find my stop. It was a bit of a pain to use. I mean for $3... it is worth it. But it definitely is not a five star product. It’s just really glitchy and not smooth.

Thanks for letting us know! So it sounds like there were two confusing things: 1. the extra layers of content in each stop, found under Learn More, and 2. the app closing after the audio ends. Is that right? We want to reproduce this issue — could you reach out to us with your phone type? We would also be happy to issue a refund!

Great City Guide

Enjoyable for the whole family, especially when trying to get a tour in the new Covid-safe world.

We're so glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for the review!

Simple with a navigator

We were in SF very briefly and wanted something simple we could do on our own to see the city. This tour let us do that! Although we only got out for photos (due to covid), we got to see all of SF’s most popular sites. We did notice that the GPS accuracy would occasionally go haywire - this was either my phone freaking out or the effect of the skyscrapers. Having a second person to catch that effect and manually handle it was helpful.

Kudos!

I had limited time in the city and I used this App and my rental car to drive around and see all the highlights. It worked as they said it would and I came home not feeling I missed seeing the city!
