SmartGuide travel guide map Reviews

I downloaded a second copy onto my iPad, but it does not launch. Get stuck at the first page. It does work fine on my iPhone.

Sounded like an AI generated voice and information not shared in an interesting/engaging way. Little detail, most times there was more information offered on a small plaque at the site than offered with SmartGuidetravelguidemap.

…although it says cancel anytime. I cancelled within the three days but still the charge for a full year. Very misleading.

I got this for Dubrovnik, Croatia and wasted a day in the Old City on this stupid tour that attempts kitschy analogies with the listener instead of providing historical facts in detail. Very surface level, I don't feel the research team or designers put any time into making the tours truly educational or useful. Also, you have to be on your phone the whole time and select each tour. It doesn’t seem to know your GPS or where you’re located except for on the walking map. Tours do not play automatically. I’m switching to another guide before they charge my card.

I purchased a lifetime subscription to TripWolf, which, surprise surprise, shut down and directed me to Smart Guide, with nothing to show for my purchase. And instead of offering some kind of unlimited subscription, SG is apparently asking users to become investors or crowd-funders for their operation selling us as targets for advertisers. So, it’s like paying for HBO and getting bombarded with ads like on network TV? Why not just use Google where we already know we’re the sheep?

At least SmartGuidetravelguidemap looks pretty, although I’m reluctant to buy a guide for fear of the spam I might get buried with.

I asked the A.I. in SmartGuidetravelguidemap to build a walking tour of up to 4 miles in a loop to see the sights on Crete, Greece. It plotted part of the walking tour as an 8 mile walk to a museum in another town. Not too intelligent.

If you only want a map that generates brief audio about the sight you are touring, why bother? I was expecting at least something like AI generate history sessions, not a bite sized summary of where I am standing.

They use an AI script and voice to narrate each landmark. The result is a cringy, edgy, open-mic comedy try-hard slop. I had to turn it off after the 5th landmark it was making me gag. You won’t be hearing about the landmarks, just a corny joke set.

SmartGuidetravelguidemap looks like it has good information, but it is too annoying to have the sound cutting in and out continually. Not good communication by SmartGuidetravelguidemap about how to operate. I’m annoying interruptions for ads

I purchased and downloaded a $9.99 package offered by Tripwolf last year which was supposed to contain European city guides. I accessed it one time and now SmartGuidetravelguidemap can’t find the guides and has no functionality but upgrade offers. You don’t need this.

I was hoping for more info and more photos. I was also looking to plan my trip schedule, but this didn’t help. To build your schedule you have to choose specific tickets and attractions from their list. Specific tours. Rather than giving a bunch of pictures for a site, they show one, list some info, and offer to sell you a ticket. I ended up browsing it casually and using google sheets to make my schedule with exact reservations and links. The purchasing options were insanely confusing, as well. Would I rather pay one price for one location or the same price for unlimited locations? Huh?

I really wanted to like SmartGuidetravelguidemap - the concept is great. But the product is boring and underwhelming. I tried two different tours in Norway - both looked promising with the included stops. Neither delivered with any depth of detail for the individual sites. It was essentially 2 factual historical sentences read by an AI voice with no story, humor or anything to make it interesting. No walking directions either, although the map was helpful but it means you have to keep the phone out & looking at it the whole time. Didn’t even finish the trial period.

I got SmartGuidetravelguidemap for a trip to Mycenae in Greece. The content was short, superficial, limited to just a few features of the site, and delivered by an irritating computer voice. No added value compared to the placards already there. First and last time I’ll use SmartGuidetravelguidemap.

We had a great time using SmartGuidetravelguidemap in Dublin and Glasgow. It gave great information and usually asked, “Want to learn more?” on the majority of the locations.

Edinburgh was another story. We got a 2 or three sentence blurb on important sites and only once were given a bit more information.

I’m glad we have it as it does a great job leading you around your chosen city. I just wish it was more consistent with the content.

I can find the location, but haven’t learned how to save it. Lots of information. Haven’t been able to sync between iPhone & iPad. Not yet at least.

It makes me sad that you are discontinuing SmartGuidetravelguidemap. Used it for our 1st trip to Italy. It was a God send. Thank you!

please add arabic language.

This is my go to app for planning we’re we want to go and do all our booking

SmartGuidetravelguidemap works well and provides just the right amount of information

SmartGuide’s awesome. Feels like I’ve got a personal travel guide at my fingertips.
