The 130 story audios through this app were delightful! From Elves to Ogres, lots of Vikings to geothermal science… and of course highlights about the sights to see on the way. Be aware that you will need two people though since the map doesn’t link to appleplay on your car… the audio does come through your speakers though, including verbal directions on all turns. (I gather it is apple that is restricting this access)
When I needed input, I got a quick reply from customer service, too.
Interesting App
We completed the Golden Circle drive in the one day we had free in Iceland. The information and stories in the app made the drive very enjoyable and provided useful information. It let us hit all the high points and took out the guess work of navigation. It is important to go the speed limit when the information points are close together. I highly recommend this for a self led tour.

Useless
Looks useless to me. It only is about the Golden Circle, it seems. You get a demo: couldn’t quite make it work. For 12 Dollar or so you get the full version ( which I didn’t pay ). Get a guide book instead.
Required WIFI even though I downloaded it
Other GPS driving tours work off WIFI after being downloaded. This one dod sometimes but other times gave me an error and required WIFI.
Content was good.
Not useful
I just downloaded and it’s not useful for me. Hopefully they reimburse my money
Great travel tool
We just completed The Golden Circle tour using this guide. It was an easy to follow and informative guide. We enjoyed to folklore about Iceland as well as the scenic hints on each stop. We highly recommend this application.
Saved $200+
Great way to drive the Golden Circle without an expensive and timed guided tour. Stories play automatically as you drive. Everyone in the car enjoyed the narration.
Once in a life time trip
We came with parents. For them, this was once in a life time trip. Guided tours were very expensive. This worked great. We bought only one tour for the car and drove around. We saw everything and did not miss anything. Will definitely recommend.
