I concur with the frustration level

I was looking forward to a simple self-guided driving tour in NY. Sadly it took multiple starts and stops to complete our tour. The app skipped stops, stopped mid-location description, misinterpreted driving moves and basically took twice as long as advertised due to poor performance. We enjoy the content but not the experience.

Nope. Don’t do it for Savannah

Incredibly repetitive. Had to restart a dozen times to get it to work correctly also. Not new to these types of apps and this one is not my jam. They repeat facts on every stop and tell you to drive when she has a full min of info to share. Cut out the repeating narrative and it would work better. I requested a refund but looks like a no. Waste of money.

Didn’t work as advertised

Great idea in theory but NOT in execution.
Could not see turn by turn directions on car screen, only phone. Kept taking us in circles instead of going to next stop and kept repeating same description.

Good tours. Horrible app experience

As others have mentioned, the tours are generally ok but using the app is pretty frustrating.

Skip it

Tried to use this app for a walking tour. The UX is awful. Navigation is miserable. You can’t move the map to try to get to the starting place. And because the audio isn’t read by an actual human who knows the area or dialect, the pronunciation is laughable. It makes it genuinely difficult to even understand. I ended up liking VoiceMap MUCH better and bought several tours there that were awesome.
