RAVE REVIEWS:

“This was an amazing way to walk the Freedom Trail!!! The tracking through the GPS was spot on and it was having all the information provided on all the points!!!”

“I did not know a lot about the American revolutionary war and without overwhelming me, it brought the events of the time to life for me”

"The freedom trail tour was great. Wife and I shared a pair of wireless earbuds which I recommend. The tour is broken into many small sections which automatically stayed as we walked to the next point on the trail. It all worked perfectly, was extremely easy to use and very informative.

Enjoyable and useful

I purchased and “took” all of the tours in this app. As someone with not much knowledge of the city beforehand I found them to be informative and insightful. I would have enjoyed more “learn more” options as well as a way to know if you’ve already heard one of the segments before. Taking all three tours there were a few points on things like the Tea Party which came around more than once so an advance warning of that might be nice.

On top of this I would recommend purchasing and downloading the tours ahead of time, they don’t download quickly whether on 4g or wifi - I think it might be a limitation of the server they are downloading from. Once downloaded however the app works well.

Thanks

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for your review! As we add more content to the tours, the download sizes get larger but we’ll work on finding a happy balance! We’d love to offer you discounts on some of our newest tours for Cape Ann and Newport, RI which are now available — please contact us at support@actiondatasystems.com. Thanks again!

Brilliant!

A must for anyone who follows the Freedom Trail. Automatically plays when you reach key points on the trail, with good detail and the option to listen to more detail if you choose. The narration is really well done. Highly recommended.

GPS Made it hard work

The 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.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback! It sounds like the issue arose because your phone GPS wasn’t locating you correctly - is that right? What model phone were you using? Was this happening only in Harvard/Cambridge or elsewhere as well? We would love to get more specifics from you so that we can determine how urgently to make changes. It would be a huge help if you could reach out to us at support@actiondatasystems.com.
