I’ve been using VoiceMap: Audio Tours & Guides for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you take these GPS-powered audio tours in different cities around the world. The tours are like little podcasts that play as you walk, bike, or drive around a place. They’re made by local experts like journalists and tour guides, so you get cool stories and insights about what you’re seeing.
Here’s how it works: you just open the app, pick a tour, and hit start. Then you can basically just follow along without looking at your phone – the audio will automatically play based on where you are. And there’s also a map view so you can see where you are on the route. And you can pause and resume the tours anytime, which is super handy.
Look, if you’re into exploring new places, you’ll probably love this app. It’s not perfect – the audio quality can be a bit hit or miss sometimes, and the library of tours is still growing. But overall, it’s a really cool way to discover cities and learn about them. I’d say it’s worth checking out, especially if you’re traveling somewhere new.
