User Reviews

ECHOES offers an innovative GPS-audio experience that users find engaging for walks and creative projects. Many users praise its unique concept and developer support. However, the app suffers from bugs including frequent crashes, playback and navigation problems, strict location-based audio controls, and limited geographic content. These issues hinder usability and frustrate users, especially outside covered regions. Despite its potential and positive feedback on concept and support, the app needs significant improvements in stability, user interface, and content availability to meet user expectations.

Pros

Unique concept integrating GPS location with audio playback, enhancing walking/listening experience.
The app supports creation and sharing of location-triggered audio experiences, useful in education and public humanities.
Developers are responsive and provide good support for bug fixes and user issues.
The app is free and created by a small, dedicated team.
Users appreciate the immersive and versatile nature of the app on walks and artistic projects.

Cons

App is buggy with frequent crashes and issues with playback crashing or not starting.
Audio stops abruptly when leaving a location zone, with no option to finish playback once started.
Limited content availability, mostly covering only a few areas (e.g., London, Manchester) causing lack of experiences outside those zones.
Navigation issues such as malfunctioning search, back button not working, and problems exiting the app.
Permissions and GPS location detection are unreliable, causing the app to incorrectly report user location and fail to play audio.
Controls such as play/pause/fast forward are missing or limited, reducing usability.

Recent reviews

I hate this app. I want to be able to walk and listen, pause and play, fast forward and rewind. The worst part is if you leave the tiny circle in here the GPS has you, the audio will reset to the beginning. Will never use it this again

Used at Freeze ART Fair 2023 for Unfolding Silence on Android. It showed me my location, and then just stopped working. Restarted and never got beyond the splash screen. Bit disappointing for me, the artist, but bad form. On the devs
