not worth wasting your time

i agree with other reviewers. i flew to boston expressly to walk this trail using the app it’s completely counter intuitive. the UX is terrible. and really?? a litany of edward kennedy quotes? the history of rose kennedy. wow. don’t waste your trip. this app is worthless.

App drops audio

The app has a lot of good content and quotes from different people, etc. But - At many sites the audio would stop abruptly at the same spot no matter how many times I tried to play it - the transitions between stops can be a bit glitchy and hard to follow. You had to manually go back and play different segments

Tech Support Was Great

I sent a message to The Freedom Trail App support yesterday at 11:06a, because Stop 27 was not listed on the map. By 1:54p I received a response from Freedom Trail. The message said the technician was going to make an adjustment. Later in the afternoon, I noticed the glitch was fixed. The app will be great to have when I’m in Boston this summer!

Functionality not so good

The information here is great, but the app’s functionality still has a ways to go. The GPS sometimes works, and sometimes doesn’t. It’s very hard to go back-and-forth between the information and the map. Every time you go back to the map, it zooms all the way out, so you have to fiddle with it to see where you are. On a cold day this made it really difficult to navigate. Because the GPS triggering didn’t always work, I ended up reading the information more than I listened to it.
