Washington DC – Driving Tour for Negative User Reviews
✓ DC yourDid not give enough info of places. Tracking of where we were was not accurate. Did not give enough lead time for turning..Version: 1.0
✓ Nice concept, frustrating executionWhile the app functioned as advertised, there were a number of issues that made it frustrating to use: 1. As the driver, every time the map was hidden/replaced because the building image was displayed instead caused me to miss a number of turns. It’s also disconcerting when it happens and I’m coming up to an intersection then lose the map. 2. There really should be an option to turn off/select satellite imagery versus the vector street map. The photo map being overlaid by a dark blue/purple 2px thick line that blends easily into the image makes following it frustrating. 3. I’m very used to driving with Apple Maps app showing the turns in an isometric view and not top down. Additionally the map does not reorient based on the direction I’m facing, so it was difficult to try and navigate off of that if I got off the planned course. 4. The app really needs a filter to allow the user to select what they want to see. Being forced to go through 171 POIs where many were not the focus of our interest/trip, nor what we had allocated time for, was frustrating. It would be great if there were multiple pre-mapped tour routes based on interests, or level of fame that the user could filter the list to. The most desirable option would be being able to choose multiple POIs you’re interested in, and have a tour route generated from the selection. Being able to focus on only 30-40 POIs instead of 171 is way more digestible. Overall it’s decent, while my family got more out of the app, as the driver it wasn’t great to use..Version: 1.5
✓ Great Concept, But Lots of Improvements Still NeededWe were excited to use the app despite mixed reviews. Really loved the history facts with the sites and sprinkles of humor. It can be a little confusing getting started but once you get close to a site and click the site in the app, the story telling starts. However, I wish there was a refund policy but since there isn’t here’s a few tips for anyone considering downloading. It would be best to drive the city late at night when there’s hardly any traffic. That way you can enjoy the sites and stories better without worrying about delaying or navigating through traffic. If you get thrown off course at night it would be easier to course correct. At certain sites the app and/or GPS kept messing up and throwing us off course. We were driving 10-15 mph and there were multiple times when the app gave the history lesson AFTER the site had been passed. There were times we were driving in the correct direction and the app said the location was on the opposite side of the street. There were times when the app would say stay or get in the right lane and then immediately after that say get in the left lane and turn left. Crossing several lanes of DC traffic makes this difficult, and then you get thrown off course. You definitely cannot use this app as a solo traveler. You need someone to look at the map and help the driver navigate, it is a necessity. A couple of times the map re-oriented itself in the app throwing us off too. Sometimes the narration was way too fast and you couldn’t understand what they were saying, or gave late narration. Sometimes the narration repeated the history lesson on its own after it had already told the story. We tried to make the app work for the trip because when it worked it was good but eventually gave up and stopped using it out of frustration from how it kept messing up..Version: 1.5
✓ FrustratingExtremely discouraged that the map wouldn’t allow you to zoom out…it would automatically zoom back in…making it difficult to plan for sites ahead. The dialogue kept getting interrupted by driving directions. Felt very disjointed. Would not recommend to others..Version: 1.5
✓ Currently UselessApp will not locate me on a map & tells me to update my privacy settings. I’ve done this, & it continues to tell me to update. There’s no method for override—by, for example, letting me input my current location & begin directions from there, so it’s useless..Version: 1.3
✓ Unsafe, unusableThe app cannot orient to your direction, making it very difficult to know where or when to turn. In between wonderful information it would give directions mere seconds before you were expected to make a turn. You also cannot easily move around on the map to see what turns are coming ahead! With the number of stop lights and pedestrians we had to stop using it because it wasn’t safe. Great concept and information, total fail on navigation and usability..Version: 2.0
✓ Waste of moneyThe recordings sounded good, but I couldn't figure out how to work it to coordinate the driving path. A waste of my money..Version: 1.5
✓ Don’t waste your moneyThe app wants you to set location service to always allow, however, that is no longer a option on iPhone. The GPS on the app will not work..Version: 1.3
✓ DisappointedI thought it was disorganized and overall poorly executed. Not a good use of my money..Version: 2.0
✓ Not happy 😞My family and I was looking forward to this app especially because of the holidays and with COVID we could drive around and still learn DC and it’s history. After getting it started it would not connect directly to our vehicle like it said and we got off the tour several times because of the directions being late or not being clear. We missed over half of DC because of this. This was my daughters first time to DC and she was very excited and after everything started going rough we lost complete interest and just returned to our families home. Very unhappy and wish I could get a refund..Version: 1.3
✓ DO. NOT. BUY.5/22/22 Horrible! Not worth it AT ALL! I wish I could get my money back. Not updated, doesn’t recognize your location well. I don’t know DC well and their traffic patterns. The directions would just start playing and you would do what was told and you end up way off coarse and couldn’t get back..Version: 1.5
✓ Not for meI loved the information about the stops, but there are no actual directions. You just have a blue line that you have to guess at. This would be absolutely perfect if it was more like an ordinary GPS that gave you better direction. In DC, there is so much traffic that it’s almost impossible to have the time to read street signs while looking at the map on the phone. :(.Version: 1.5
✓ Worst tour!I live in DC and wanted a hands off tour and info for out of town guests. CONFUSING!! Last minute directions so turning left was impossible, as they always said to be in the slow lane. DC traffic is anything but slow, and if you are going to fast or there is no place to pull over (all of DC) the info on the building stops and you miss out. LOTS of bad turns and no arrows on the map to know which direction to go. Gave up on tour about 1/4 of the way thru. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!.Version: 1.3
✓ HorribleWhile it is somewhat informative but slightest bit of slow or fast moving traffic you will be completely off course and the narration of directions are spotty at best..Version: 2.0
✓ Mediocre Tour/Hard to Follow Driving DirectionsThe tour was mediocre at best, and the driving instructions were extremely delayed. App does not recognize road blockages, so you have to figure out your own way to certain sites..Version: 1.3
✓ So disappointedDidn’t work for us. Wouldn’t play, either using Bluetooth or using an aux cord. Very glitchy..Version: 1.3
✓ Not supported by Ios13Spent over 10 USD for an app that just crashes - an EXPENSIVE WASTE of money.Version: 1.0
