I don’t think you can make much use out of this app when you are in Countries like India. I tried to use it when I was in Agra. There’s nothing I could use from this app.

Not good

Tried the 3 day trial while at machu piccu, downloaded the guide and everything, it didn’t play (except for an ad), and said I needed to upgrade even though I was on the trial. I read the first three stops out loud to my wife, then it said I couldn’t access the other ones as I didn’t have the upgraded version.

TLDR; App didn’t work and it made no sense

Toller Reiseführer

Ich liebe diese App auf Reisen. Man kann in kompakter Zeit sehr viel über die Städte lernen. Das einzige was schade ist, dass nicht alle Touren auch auf Deutsch verfügbar sind. Zumindest eine Übersetzungsmöglichkeit mit dem KI Assistenten wäre schön. Vielleicht wird das ja in Zukunft noch verbessert, dann wäre sie auf jeden Fall absolut perfekt.

Cusco Walking Tour AI Slop

Very disappointing walking tour. Seemed like AI slop. Very hard to follow. Not well guided. Information was very basic, and the accent was terrible.
