Not much content

I did the Little Tokyo walking tour. The app/navigation worked pretty well. Honestly, the navigation should have worked a little better. It was clunky and the interface wasn’t user friendly. The biggest issue was with the amount of content. There were only 10 “stops” on the tour. One of them was city hall which isn’t in Little Tokyo. At least two of the stops were just updates that you were going in the right direction. So, really, only 7 stops on the tour. The information was good but for FIFTEEN DOLLARS I was expecting a lot more. There is a lot to see in Little Tokyo and this tour barely scratched the surface. Not worth the money.

Breaking bad

Terrible waste of money will not navigate to next POI gets stuck in loop back to first stop narration just keeps repeating when you do arrive at next stop will not acknowledge being there and will start narration over from welcome to the tour frustrating waste of money.

City tours

The driving tour was good with a lot of information, if you can take the time and stop during some of the points.

Terrible App

We bought the tour for Charlotte. It worked fine until we ran into construction and were unable to get to the 9th stop. When we went around the construction the stop and start feature did not work. We tried to skip it and start on 10, the audio worked for 10 and then not 11. We tried to start it again on stop 12 the map seemed to take us to the wrong spot. There was supposed to be an old cemetery but it wasn’t there. Continued to have trouble with the audio and map. We gave up after stop 14 and called it quits. Don’t waste your money, there are better apps out there.

GREAT tour!

Absolutely fantastic information on all the homes. The app worked seamlessly! 4.5/5 stars. Would be a perfect 5 if the home values were updated to today’s market value. Home values are from 2020, which was an entirely different market than today (2026). Otherwise, great tour!
