Freedom Trail Boston Guide for Negative User Reviews

✓ Informative but needs workThe information the app gives us quite good. The GPS portion of it isn’t. There’s a map, yes, but it would have been so much better if it gave directions to the next attraction! Also, if you leave the app for any reason, you have to start at the beginning when you return; it doesn’t pinpoint where you are or remember where you left off..Linda blmrVersion: 2.6

✓ Boston Freedom tourIt all works but not sure it’s worth buying as very thin content..EakamouseVersion: 1.2

✓ Geo-locating is niceUsed it most to figure out where we were. I like how the app would start playing as you entered a relevant area, although I often had to pause it if I wasn’t ready to listen (in conversation with someone). Content was fine, but wish it had more stories to tell..Pauldo91Version: 1.2

✓ Frustrating FunctionalityIt was based on a great concept- of using location services to trigger the narration. But it didn’t work. It jumped all over the place. I could not follow it and when I tried to manually control it without location services it still malfunctioned. Definitely too many bugs to justify the cost. I was able to read the text- but it was only mildly interesting and superficially informative. It was NOT worth the hassle..KhgfcbhedcvVersion: 3.3

✓ Helpful but not worth the priceWhile it was nice to help us get around the Freedom Trail and learn the basics of each site, we really wished we had more in-depth information given. Most of the descriptions at the roughly 20 or so stops were only 1-2 minutes in length and we were usually left wanting more. I’d expect this from a free app but one that is $7 should have more IMO..PlasticMan70Version: 2.7

✓ GPS Made it hard workThe actual information on the guided tours is good, however it would be helpful for actual directions to the next landmark. We ended up forgetting the whole idea in Harvard because the gps was saying we weren’t exactly where we were on the map and it was hard work to try and find the next spots..Tissues,athrowandfearneVersion: 1.6

✓ Sparsely NarratedI found this walking tour to not have robust enough historical information or detail. I also like walking tour narrations that will give you landmarks and descriptors of where you’re at so you can just listen to it versus constantly looking at your map to tell if you’re going the right direction. Each historical site only had a minute or two of narration if that..BlurfixerVersion: 2.91

✓ I think you can skip this app for nowI found the narrator’s voice to be pleasant, but the info in the tells you way less than you can learn at any of the given sights. The navigation was unhelpful as it doesn’t give you exact points — for instance, I had to ask a local where to actually pick up the trail— and once you’re on the trail you can and should really just follow the path that’s been laid. That’s half the fun! Tying to use/navigate the app kept me with my face in my phone for way longer than I wanted to be given the fact that I was trying to sightsee. And the info was frustrating somethings in its brevity—for instance, at the Granary Burial site it tells you that Hancock is buried there, but not where. In Maui, we used a terrific app that used your GPS location to automatically tell you about what you were seeing as you walked or drove. I wish this app could have done that. It required me to do way too much and offered much less than a simple guidebook would have..KindsoldierVersion: 1.2

✓ Didn’t work offline as advertisedEvery time I tried using this app offline it would just give me a wait indicator and say ‘preparing app’. I couldn’t find any instructions on how to use it offline..Frozone2Version: 1.2

✓ Not necessaryYou don’t need the app. The trail is marked by a red brick path. The start and end points are posted on the website. Each site has signs describing the historical significance. The app was not helpful and we stopped using it after the 2nd stop..UpstateNY momVersion: 2.91

✓ Lots of Empty SpaceThe 15 ~2 minute long explanations that pretty closely mirror the plaques/signs you find at each location is not worth the $10. You get ~30 min of content for a two-hour walk - lots of empty space and time that could easily be filled with the countless, myriad stories and facts that make the time period so interesting - instead you’re walking in silence for the vast majority of time. Additionally, there is no common narrative theme - the very few stories are disjointed and seemingly random. Tip for the writers - listen to the “Road to Hana” driving tour by Gypsy Tours. Fascinating, captivating, and fills the three hour drive to the point where you don’t even realize it’s been three hours. Fantastic content and delivery..Grahamw105Version: 2.91

✓ Took too much money and now doesn’t workUnfortunately this is a SCAM 1) I bought a package of walking tours advertised as 19.99 USD in the ap, which when i bought charged 19.99 pounds (not the approx 16). 2), two days later, I open the app and only one of the multiple tours is there- I can’t restore by reinstalling etc.EhiekneielVersion: 2.91
