Waste of money
I used this to buy tickets for the Prado in Madrid. Not only was it really expensive vs going direct, but the audio seemed impossible to get going. The app asks for login and password which of course doesn’t work as I’ve not set it up. The QR scan didn’t work in the Prado either. A complete waste of money.
Wasted 20 minutes of our tour
Downloaded this off a Big Bus Tour in Berlin. Downloaded the Berlin map, checked my location several times. The app started playing me an introduction to Vienna. The images and the text on the screen was all for Berlin but I couldn’t get any audio for Berlin. Tried multiple times to re-activate and downloaded the Berlin Map several times. Asked the four operator to assist and they gave me some plug in headphones and we used the bus onboard system.
Dont waste your money!
Difficult to download and access. The audio tour you can purchase for 3€ at the start of the rampart tour is much better and supports the tour route
Poor!
Heavy to download and drains battery!
Enhanced my Rome trip
Used this for Rome city and Pantheon and found it very user friendly with good information that enhanced my trip. In Rome there are so many impressive buildings that it’s useful to know more about the history and specific features to look for. Also helped me navigate the city. Particularly liked that you could download so could still use without data/wifi.
No way to sign in !
I downloaded this app, but have no way of signing in as I have not been sent a QR code or login details and there is no option to register when opening the app for first time.
Needs work but pretty good for starters
Get the impression that this is a newish app. The idea behind the app is excellent although it’s execution needs to be either streamlined or slightly more intuitive. For example clicking on a map (London) shouldn’t then take you to a globe where you need to manually zoom on your selection. Just a suggestion your choice should put you in that area without further need to interact. The woman’s voice who narrates some of the information is not only annoying it is not easy to listen to and sounds like it is a last minute stand in from someone’s front room ! There are a few oddities with the app that will in time hopefully get ironed out. The idea though is really good it just needs to develop as time goes on which I am sure it will. Please get a professional though to do the narrative. One question when we book attractions through this are we booking through we know London or directly with the operators as there are some pricing differences.
Amazing!
This app allows you to know more in shorter sentences. It was recommended by my mother ( The Manager of WeKnowLondon). It’s the Company that made the app. It’s a tourist app that helps you! Recommend you get it it’s free and easy and you can use it offline!
Very little information
We were recommended this app by our hotel so thought it would be worth spending €5 on.
After downloading you can see the main attractions on the map. I was hoping to get information on more than those. There is a play button for them and after a few sentences it’s done. It gives you a VERY brief and shallow info bite so if you expect some proper facts and historical background it’s worth going on YouTube to type in the name + Audio and get properly informed!
