Features & Capabilities

PocketGuide, the world’s leading audio city guide application, reveals the best stories, insider hangouts and must-see sights in more than 150 major cities and tourist destinations.

PocketGuide turns your mobile device into a personal tour guide: The GPS figures out where you are, and a voice recording, made by a local guide, describes the sights around you. You don’t need to read text from your phone, just listen and enjoy a city’s attractions while your virtual tour guide explains it all and shares personal insights.

PocketGuide works offline, so you save on roaming charges, and it includes loads of critical reviews that help you decide where to eat, drink and shop.

We also have fascinating themed tours, for those who want to go off the beaten path. Find the top tapas in Barcelona, get chic in NYC’s East Village or follow the trail of a 19th century serial killer in London.

Whether you're interested in the main sights or "the road less traveled", PocketGuide is ready to take you there.

Please note that continuous use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

User Reviews

User reviews show strong appeal for PocketGuide's self-guided, location-aware tours and useful offline features, plus engaging city stories and supplemental content. However, recurring issues widely affect usability: frequent crashes, a costly paywall before content can be used, and inconsistent GPS/map behavior (no on-screen position, manual activation). Content can also be uneven across cities, with some guides offering few points of interest. Battery drain from location services is another common complaint. Overall, the app is praised for travel value but hampered by reliability and cost concerns.

Pros

Location-based audio that automatically describes sights as you walk by
Offline maps and data; works without mobile data
Engaging city stories and informative audio guides
Effective self-guided tours that replace a traditional guide
Extras like photos, subway information, and restaurant listings enhance sightseeing

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes; unreliable in use
Expensive paywall before content can be used; paying $9.99 upfront
GPS/map issues: does not show your position on map; requires manual activation
Location services drain battery and continue to run after the app is closed
Content quality varies across cities with some guides offering few points of interest

Recent reviews

I recently purchased this audio travel guide app while visiting London, and I was initially very excited to use it. Unfortunately, my experience with the app has been quite disappointing. Upon using it, I encountered significant issues. The app consistently stops and freezes after just a minute or two into the tour. I attempted to restart it multiple times, but to no avail. I also tried the troubleshooting step of uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but this did not resolve the issue either. Given the persistent problems I've encountered, I don’t recommend this app at all.

Just takes my money and constant crashes/hangs!!! This thing is a dumpster fire and should be removed from the store. You won’t be able to complete a single tour and will just ruin your trip by extremely aggravating you!
