I found the narrator’s voice to be pleasant, but the info in the tells you way less than you can learn at any of the given sights. The navigation was unhelpful as it doesn’t give you exact points — for instance, I had to ask a local where to actually pick up the trail— and once you’re on the trail you can and should really just follow the path that’s been laid. That’s half the fun! Tying to use/navigate the app kept me with my face in my phone for way longer than I wanted to be given the fact that I was trying to sightsee. And the info was frustrating somethings in its brevity—for instance, at the Granary Burial site it tells you that Hancock is buried there, but not where. In Maui, we used a terrific app that used your GPS location to automatically tell you about what you were seeing as you walked or drove. I wish this app could have done that. It required me to do way too much and offered much less than a simple guidebook would have.

The 15 ~2 minute long explanations that pretty closely mirror the plaques/signs you find at each location is not worth the $10. You get ~30 min of content for a two-hour walk - lots of empty space and time that could easily be filled with the countless, myriad stories and facts that make the time period so interesting - instead you’re walking in silence for the vast majority of time. Additionally, there is no common narrative theme - the very few stories are disjointed and seemingly random.

Tip for the writers - listen to the “Road to Hana” driving tour by Gypsy Tours. Fascinating, captivating, and fills the three hour drive to the point where you don’t even realize it’s been three hours. Fantastic content and delivery.

It was based on a great concept- of using location services to trigger the narration. But it didn’t work. It jumped all over the place. I could not follow it and when I tried to manually control it without location services it still malfunctioned. Definitely too many bugs to justify the cost. I was able to read the text- but it was only mildly interesting and superficially informative. It was NOT worth the hassle.
