Hi there, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. When you were having technical difficulties, did you contact VoiceMap support via email or telephone? We are contactable by both telephone and email, so if you have technical difficulties, please reach out to us so we can identify what is going wrong. Can you email more information to support@voicemap.me? This way, we can identify exactly what went wrong. We can troubleshoot the issue and process a refund if you email us your details. Again, I'm sorry about the poor experience you had.

Glitchy

Haley_O, Jun 2024
App is very glitchy. If you wander off the path and explore other areas, it is hard to get the app back on track. Cannot easily do the route in a different order either (if starting at the opposite end from where the audio tour starts).

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Hi there, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. Can you email more information to support@voicemap.me? This way, we can identify exactly what went wrong. As mentioned in the instructions we sent you, all VoiceMap tours follow a set route and include turn-by-turn directions. If you started a tour at the end and did it in reverse, left turns would become right turns. If you stopped the tour along the way for a break or to visit an attraction mentioned en route, then you can use the Resume button to pick up where you left off. When you select Resume you'll be shown a list of the three closest locations to where you are. Click on the location you want to start from, and the tour will resume from there. I'm sorry for your frustrating experience. Regards, Brent

Voice App didn’t work

Pam_D, Oct 2022
Could not download app even though I had full bars which made this totally useless. I have an iPhone 13 so it is a newer model.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Hi Pam I'm sorry to hear that you had issues downloading the app. Downloading the app is rarely an issue for our customers. I've sent you a message through Viator to try and understand what happened and to discuss a refund. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Keep well, Alicia
