## What is Tropi Guide Madeira?

Madeira, told by the people who live here, in your ear while you drive or walk.

Tropi Guide is self-guided audio tours of Madeira. Download a tour before you set off, put the phone away, and each story starts by itself as you reach the place it is about. Nothing to press at the wheel, no group, no meeting time, and no signal needed. Not just what a building is called, but why it is there.

Every tour has three free samples, so you can hear it before you buy.

THE DRIVES

The Eastern Edge (half day): from Funchal to the end of the road, where Madeira runs out of green and turns to bare red rock with the Atlantic on both sides.

The West Coast (full day): from Câmara de Lobos to Paul do Mar. The glass floor at Cabo Girão, terraces cut by hand over five hundred years, a steam mill still crushing sugarcane, and two villages that had no road until this century.

The Far West (half day): from the lighthouse at Ponta do Pargo onto the north coast, with a waterfall falling into the sea and the steepest cable car in Europe dropping to a vineyard.

The Wild North Coast (full day, either direction): from São Vicente to the pass at Portela. A saint that came in a box, the thatched houses of Santana, and a sugar mill still running on steam.

Porto Moniz, Seixal and more (half day, either direction): a chapel cut into a rock, the only black-sand beach on the north coast, a waterfall you drive under, and at the end a swim in pools the lava made.

THE WALKS IN FUNCHAL

Doors of Funchal (2 hours): the oldest streets of the city, a Jesuit college with cannon towers, a cathedral of volcanic stone, and the painted doors of Rua de Santa Maria.

The Fisherman's Quarter (2 hours 30): how the sea built Funchal, from the fish market to the yellow fort and the pebble beach the boats launched from.

HOW IT WORKS

Buy a tour once and it is yours: it never expires, there is no subscription, and it works on your other devices with the same account. Downloaded, it runs with no signal at all, which matters on a road where the phone loses service for twenty minutes at a time. Stop for lunch and the tour picks up where you left it.

AND, FOR FREE

All 43 official trails on Madeira and Porto Santo with today's status, the free slots and SIMplifica licence booking, and a timer for the walk. The weather for every part of the island and live webcams. Guides to the beaches, waterfalls and viewpoints, and Madeira Basics, written by people who live here.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-13

NEW IN THIS VERSION
Tours
- A short walkthrough of the tour screen the first time a tour is opened (it can be skipped, and replayed from the gear, "How a tour works").
- On driving tours, a stop reached while another is still playing waits on a card over the map, with Skip ahead to play it now; if nobody taps it, it plays when the other one ends instead of being lost.
- Downloads are checked against the server and fetched again if incomplete; a block that stops early is replayed instead of skipped.
- The audio list can be pulled up to nearly full screen, and pushed down to show more of the map.
- Highlights (the places to stop) show a photo of each place, which one is next, and a tick once you have been there.
- On the map: audio points point towards the next one, and your position is drawn as a small car while driving and a walker on foot (tap the walker to change it).
- Ratings are shown on a tour's page from the first one.
Explore
- A "Viral spots" list, every place shows how far away it is (with location allowed), and the full lists are grouped by part of the island.
- The Porto Moniz pools and the airport wind are shown under the weather card.
No new permissions, data collection or in-app purchases.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-04

What's new in 1.0.3

- Round the Island: all five drives in one purchase, for less than buying them one by one.
- Buy without an account. Tap Buy and it's yours; save your tours to an account later if you like. Restore Purchases works signed out too.
- Have a code? Redeem it on any tour.
- Madeira today, on a map of the island: the sky and temperature in each region, the next three days, and each place's live webcams. A clear night now looks like night.
- Sunny somewhere? Explore suggests a drive that's under blue sky, and lets you hear how it begins.
- A new Tours tab: everything on one screen, and Listen on every tour to hear the free samples from the list.
- The morning brief: one notification at 8:30 with what the day is like on the island, only if you ask for it.
- On a trail's map the route is easier to see and the whole walk is in view.
- Clearer tour previews on Explore places, and many small fixes.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-27

Explore, rebuilt around what you need on the island, and now where the app opens:

• Madeira Today: the weather at fifteen places, live webcams, sunrise and sunset, and where the sun is right now, in one screen.
• Madeira Basics: the five-minute briefing before you turn the key: driving, money, weather, what to eat, quick answers.
• Hikes: the trail on a map with its elevation profile, whether it is open today (straight from the IFCN), how many licence places are left per hour on the government portal, and a private timer for your own walk. Pick the easy ones, the ones under two hours, the levadas or the peaks. Mark trails To do and Done.
• Four new driving tours: The West Coast, The Far West, Porto Moniz, Seixal and more, and The Wild North Coast.
• Tours with two directions now let you pick which way you are driving.
• Getting back is easier: a back button that stays within reach as you scroll, and a swipe in from the left edge.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-15

• Join a tour from any stop on the map
• Smoother audio scrubbing and map panning
• Rate a tour you own from its page
• Fixes and improvements

### 1.0 — 2026-09-09
