User Reviews

This app is on the level of what I wish all self guided tour apps were. Locations are listed by distance or by a particular tour grouping with distances and or links to map provided. Easy to navigate. There is more detail than one could want on many of the spots. For example, the entry of the school house on top of the hill goes over the history of the various instantiations including photos of building and classes over 150 years. It's the level of a historical book that goes beyond just a simple tour app. Clearly this app is a work from someone who was passionate about the history and heritage of Galena.

We were super sad that now that Galena is open again for business, the audio function of this purchased app didn’t work. The written historical information is great, but not what I expected nor was advertised. Seems like you’ve known about and been working on this since the Fall of last year. I would recommend you advise iOS customers of the problem until it is resolved so people know what to expect.

Looks like a very comprehensive guide, but the lack of functioning audio is a major flaw.
