## Review summary

Users like the concept and some visual/projection aspects, but the app is hampered by reliability and navigation problems, a confusing UI, and inconsistent location/scheduling information. Improvements needed include fixing audio/server issues, accurate location data with directions, a cleaner interface, and clearer communications about closures and timings.

### Pros

- Innovative walking-tour concept that combines projections with a narrative experience.
- Impressive projections and visuals that create an immersive feel when the system works.
- Curated content that is interesting and adds educational value to the tour.
- Immersive experience at stops, with potential to be enjoyable even in challenging conditions (e.g., cold weather).

### Cons

- Frequent reliability issues such as server errors and audio not playing, making the app frustrating to use.
- Location data accuracy and navigation problems (inaccurate pins, no clear directions or addresses, poor map interaction).
- Usability and interface problems (slow performance, confusing UI, numerous warnings/popups).
- Inconsistent information about which locations are open and when, indicating poor communication and scheduling updates.
