Fun tour

The map and audio features worked perfectly. The directions and count of the stops got mixed up after we made a wrong turn, but we were able to complete the tour using the directions on the map.

Unusable App - Avoid

This app has promise but extraordinarily under delivers. It’s such a klunky interface, the GPS doesn’t work as one would anticipate, and you can’t move along the route at your own pace. To turn the GPS on you need to start at the beginning rather than being able to meet you where you are. The GPS tour is a fallacy.

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.
