### 1/5 — Atrocious

*2025-12-27*

Huge file. When you download it it asks for super aggressive permissions. Then the navigation is idiotic. And it keeps pesters you to do very lame AR. Just keep to a simple audio tour

### 5/5 — Great app, made for a memorable experience

*2025-10-05*

We brought a Bluetooth speaker with our family and used the app during the journey. Really great! Nice work.

### 1/5 — The most useless app in AppStore

*2025-10-03*

The most useless app in AppStore. Does nothing in English. Doesn’t even have a map. Absolutely useless.

### 5/5 — Transforms the trip into a rich cultural adventure

*2025-07-02*

100% recommend this, we got it at the top, didn’t have a cellphone plan, downloaded off the free WiFi and was able to listen to delightful aboriginal man narrate a his people’s stories with vividness. My whole family loved listening in and it tracks where you are and tells you stories about what you are looking at.

### 5/5 — Worked, it good

*2025-06-24*

It good worked berry good

### 1/5 — No audio

*2024-10-30*

Unfortunately, I was unable to get any audio guide. I tried it 3 times to no avail. Hope it works better for others.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-08-16*

Asks to be granted permissions that don’t exist

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work. Don’t bother downloading

*2024-05-09*

Waste of time. Do better Skyrail.

### 1/5 — If 0 stars was allowed, this would be 0

*2024-03-17*

“You had one job”… do anything with some form of audio, roughly related to where we were in the park. Instead it asks for “always” available location, which I finally granted… and it still couldn’t figure out we weee anywhere in the park. Let alone provide any service, say like an audio tour 🤦‍♂️😬🤷‍♂️ we both tried it on two different iPhones at two stops… then deleted it. Don’t even bother. Talk about failing to do your one job.

### 1/5 — Kind of useless

*2024-02-12*

Couldn’t get it working. after reading the reviews, it seems like I have to keep the app open full-time to have the audio guide. Which does not make sense because everyone needs phone to take photos. so it’s kind of pointless.
