Every city is full of stories. Stories about the people who have lived in it, and those who live in it today. Now, these stories can be unlocked for everyone. In this app you will discover a theater of sound inspired by the things you pass on your way. Depending on the tour and the theme, you will experience expert interviews and dramatized dialogue to illustrate and enhance real events from the past. Your guide will be right in your ear at all times to lead the way, whispering the sweet secrets of history. It's an audio theater right in your pocket, and you can access it on your phone 24/7. Once you open the app, you choose which tour you want to walk. You need to download the tour so you can access it without relying on Wi-Fi, and you need to allow notifications and GPS. And then you're ready. You simply follow the instructions you receive along the way. Your surroundings are the scenography for the story you will hear. And the phone? You can simply put it in your pocket. When you pass a stop, the audio stories start automatically. It feels like pure magic. But if you feel uncertain about the directions during the tour, you can always orient yourself via the built-in map. Enjoy the journey and the new insights.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Freewalk.fm at every 3 weeks against Insight Journeys's every 6 months. Insight Journeys's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
