### 5/5 — Great For Road Trips!

*2020-11-27, version 1.4.0*

I use this app on road trips using Waze in the background. As I pass a historical marker for the first time, it reads aloud the content. And after it’s done, the next marker I get near, it reads aloud. It’s neat to hear stories about where I’m traveling through.
