Gesso: Audio Tours - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Gesso is a new way to explore cities with audio that plays based on your location. Here, you'll find audio experiences anywhere from an immersive moving play to countercultural audio tours that invite you to feel the pulse of the city. As a creator and publisher of site-specific audio content, we celebrate 'place' and the people who shaped it in New York, San Francisco, Florence, Venice, Rome and London.

Named after the primer layer artists apply to a canvas before they tell their stories, Gesso (sounds like: JEH-so) makes next-gen audio guides that go under the surface of a city and through the halls of the most forward-thinking museums.

"Their walking tours are so impeccably executed it’s hard to imagine how this didn’t exist sooner. Become an early adopter, you won’t regret it!" -soapboxdarby

“If you don't want to join a traditional walking tour but still learn more about the place you're visiting, this app is perfect for you. The walks are easy to follow and very detailed..super interesting and informative. Fantastic! -DaniHeinrich

"The app succeeds doing the 2 things it needs to do, First, it easily and correctly guides you, while providing clear walking instructions and seamless auto play. The app "gets out of the way" and allows you to simply follow the route and listen to the tour. Second, the tours themselves are great. I've done a couple around the New York area and they have a great balance of theme, random tidbits, landmarks, etc and are super fun. Can't wait for more of these high quality tours to drop!" - adamoch

"Just spent a few days in New York and unfortunately discovered this app on the last day. I wish I had known about it earlier. The Rock Center tour was incredible." -Christine222

Great experience

Simple but well made app. I appreciated how it synchronizes the content to your location. The NYC SoHo tour was excellent, easy to follow, interesting, and informative.

Great

Helps know about the environment around

Fantastic walking tours

If you don’t want to join a traditional walking tour but still learn more about the place you’re visiting, this app is perfect for you. The walks are easy to follow and very detailed.. super interesting and informative. Fantastic!

Delightful audio guide to NYC

Ive lived in NYC 22 years and have never enjoyed a walk in prospect park like I did today. Great sound design, and historical facts. Looking forward to my next walk!

Flawless experience, great content

The app succeeds doing the 2 things it needs to do - First, it easily and correctly guides you, while providing clear walking instructions and seamless auto play. The app “gets out of the way” and allows you to simply follow the route and listen to the tour. Second, the tours themselves are great. I’ve done a couple around the New York area and they have a great balance of theme, random tidbits, landmarks, etc and are super fun. Can’t wait for more of these high quality tours to drop!

Brilliant

I’ve taken two NYC tours — Soho and the East Village — and they were wondrous and riveting. This is an exciting new way to take an audio tour.

Wonderfully produced, thoughtful tours

Really enjoyed taking some of these tours which provide meditative and creative content for curious minds.

Just try it. You won’t regret .

I am a New Yorker for 7 years.

Wonderful way to explore and learn!

I was looking for a geo-tagged guided audio tour of Brooklyn and was thrilled to find this app. Walking directions were clear and the tour seamlessly synced to my location, so that if I wanted to linger in certain areas it would automatically wait for me to catch up before continuing. Tour itself was compelling and made me want to continue exploring! Excited to see more.

Great way to explore the city

Love to do the audio tours with Gesso. Just finished the Williamsburg walk and learned a lot about the area.
