What's New in VoiceMap

15.6.0

July 17, 2026

We've made searching in the app easier, with better sorting, clear labelling and the addition of something new: attractions. If you're looking for all the tours that take in the British Museum, for example, just search for it. Tapping on the result labelled Attraction brings up a complete list with a map and a description.

Wonderful concept!

What a fantastic model! We often book tours when we travel but they are often expensive and we have to fit in the guide’s schedule. This is such a lovely concept.

Super buggy and steals your money

The app is a great idea and the content is generally great. However the app itself is very buggy. Changing the speed of the narration creates overlapping audio, and it’s nearly impossible to allow a child to purchase a tour through a request to a parent because the download flow is interrupted. My kids ended up charging me multiple times for the same download and Apple refused to refund at least one of those multiple downloads. These are really awful bugs and you ended up converting someone who was enthusiastic to someone pretty upset by the overall experience. Whether this is ultimately Apple’s fault or VoiceMap’s fault I don’t know, but the experience was decidedly negative.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. We'd love to try and address the two issues you've pointed out, but more info would be a great help. Changing narration speed shouldn't lead to overlapping audio, but every tour is different and if you were to drive a walking tour – for example – there are instances where this could happen. Could you please send an email to support@voicemap.me with the name of the tour and whether you were speeding up or slowing down the audio? As for the request to a parent issue, this isn't something we've explicitly tested. But Apple in-app purchase is an imperfect system with all sorts of frustrations for developers. If you're buying for a group, I recommend doing so at voicemap.me, where there is a flow especially for this. If you've been overcharged, we'll do what we can to help. Again, the best thing would be to email support@voicemap.me. Thanks!

Excellent app!

Have used the app for two audio tours in Poland. Excellent tech, depth of content and narration.

Bait and switch. Not free but advertised free

Absolutely terrible, zero stars. I consumed my data roaming to download their app after seeing their claim free.

Great app for vacations!

I’ve been using this on vacations for about 4 years now and really enjoying it. Whether it’s the Coliseum in Rome, the loop in Chicago or Latin quarter in Barcelona, I always learn something new and interesting about the cities or areas we’re visiting. It’s a neat and inexpensive way to explore new places.
