Boston Freedom Trail Experience - The stories and explanations are awesome. The GPS feature knows where you are so says things like ‘I’ll wait for you’ until you get to the next place. The directions are spot on. The only downside is that the recordings were obviously made during Covid and make references to places not being open because of COVID. So, time for an update!

Great walking history meeting - Was a wonderful way for our leadership team to have a walking meeting. The narration was spot on and we could stop whenever we wanted to grab a drink or chat. Lots of fun and interesting tidbits of history. My only complaint is that the app eats my iPhone battery like crazy!

Great informative tour. - It was good to do this tour on our own pace. We took a break when we needed and stopped at few places for lunch and sweets. Very nice to just walk around and listen to the history.

Narration was interesting... - Narration was interesting but be advised that the app drains the phone battery quickly. Our batteries ran out before completing the tour.

Buggy - We needed help finding the tour on the app and downloading it but that might be because my sister and I are in our 70s. It started off well, but on my iPhone 16 it kept crashing and I needed to restart it. My sister didn’t experience that same issue on an older iPhone (not sure what version). We ended up just sharing the app from her phone until batteries on both our phones died. They were fully charged when we started the tour.

Waste of Money - Had to download a different app to try to use the tours I purchased. Couldn’t figure out how to make them work together and then had to repurchase in the app.
