For instance, I accidentally clicked on Margate, and the pop-up box shows you an overview of information for the area. However there is no way to get rid of this box once you click it (such as an X button to close this pop-up). The only way around it was to force shut the app and load it up again. Another example of poor functionality is that despite the app having location enabled, I cannot see any local routes or even put in a postcode to show the local routes manually. When I click on the walking routes tab, all I can see is the entire map-view of England. You have to then zoom in and manually search for London all over the map and then locate where you are. This is an excessive amount of effort. There are several more examples to the effect of the above so I had to delete the app but I’d be open to revisiting it one day when it has further developments. ### 5/5 — Enjoyable walk *2020-11-28, version 3.3* I downloaded the app as I regularly walk around oxford and wanted done thing to enhance these walks. Really enjoyed reading about the areas I was walking through. Well done ### 5/5 — Fun app that helps you explore the city *2020-08-05, version 3.3* I liked using this app - helps you find the hidden gems of London. It’s easy to use and enjoyable. I’ve lived here for years but learned new things using it. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2020-08-04, version 3.3* Lots of enjoyable walks. Clearly a lot of love has gone into this and it shows. It’s really good and my parents also love it. ### 5/5 — Better then a tour guide! *2019-08-05* Saved money on a guide after getting this. It was perfect on my trip and I learned a lot. Great app and execution. Will definitely keep this as a travel buddy. ### 1/5 — Rubbish on iOS *2018-07-13, version 3.1* App won’t open on either iPhone or iPad! ### 4/5 — Charge *2017-10-19, version 3.0* Looking forward to doing the walks with my family but it says it is free for now,can you tell me when it will start charging and by how much please. Also ones I have looked at so far doesn't mention if wheelchair accessible or if the walk is ok for wheelchairs,is that something that would be added as important to myself and many others ### 4/5 — Really enjoyable but few UX issues *2017-08-09, version 3.0* I have done 3 of the walks now and have enjoyed them all. The only issue is that there are a few bugs. For instance, when you lock your phone (or it locks its self due to inactivity) and you go back to the app, the voiceover is played twice. There's also a few instances where the voiceover will not play. This happened on the first few chapters of the Towers of London City walk. ### 5/5 — Really great for touring! *2016-10-21* This is so cool! I think it's a really good companion for getting out and exploring the area! I think it could have more of an iOS UI but it still looks great! One thing I noticed is when touching the left & right arrows it moves twice in that direction. ## Frequently asked questions about TrailTale ### Does TrailTale have ads?
