## Description

Armenia in your ears — from the pink stone of Yerevan to a monastery on the edge of a cliff.<br><br>Narrated audio guides to the places travellers actually go in Armenia. Download once and they play anywhere: in a gorge, on a marshrutka, at 3,000 metres — with no signal, no roaming and no data.<br><br>START FREE<br>The whole Yerevan guide is free, from a fortress raised in 782 BC to the singing fountains of Republic Square. Every other guide has a free excerpt, so you hear the narrator before you pay anything.<br><br>NO SUBSCRIPTION — EVER<br>Buy one guide, or unlock the entire library with a single payment and keep it for life. Nothing renews. Nothing expires. New guides are included in full access as they arrive.<br><br>WHAT&#39;S INSIDE<br>• Yerevan — Republic Square, the Opera, the Cascade, the Matenadaran, Tsitsernakaberd (free)<br>• Garni Temple — Armenia&#39;s only Greco-Roman temple, and the Symphony of Stones<br>• Geghard Monastery — hewn into living rock, UNESCO World Heritage<br>• Khor Virap — the deep pit of St Gregory, with Mount Ararat filling the sky behind it<br>• Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin — the cathedral of the world&#39;s first Christian nation<br>• Zvartnots Cathedral — the 7th-century rotunda an earthquake brought down<br>• Tatev Monastery — cliff-top, reached by the world&#39;s longest reversible cable car<br>• Sevanavank — two dark churches on a peninsula in Lake Sevan<br>• Haghartsin — honey-coloured churches deep in the forests of Dilijan<br>• Goshavank — a medieval university, and a khachkar carved like lace<br>...and more added over time.<br><br>Every guide is cut into short chapters you can take at your own pace.<br><br>BUILT FOR THE ROAD<br>• Genuinely offline — the audio lives on your phone, it is not streamed<br>• Chapter by chapter, so you listen while you walk and pause while you look<br>• Every guide resumes exactly where you stopped<br>• Plays in the background, with lock screen, notification shade, and Bluetooth controls<br>• Open any site in Google Maps, Yandex Maps, or Maps.me in one tap<br>• Storage you control — see what each guide takes up, delete it, and it stays yours to download again<br><br>TIPS FROM PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE<br>Which ride app to use, and why there is no Uber. Why you need dram and not dollars. What to wear inside a monastery. Which sites pair up on one day&#39;s drive. Where the best gata is. Practical advice, not filler.<br><br>ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN<br>Both the guides and the app speak either language, and the two are chosen separately. Change either at any time.<br><br>WHO IT IS FOR<br>Independent travellers, road trips with a hired driver, layover visitors, diaspora coming home, and anyone who would rather have a story in their ear than follow a stranger holding an umbrella.<br><br>No account. No sign-up. No ads. No tracking.
