The idea of self-guide...

ignacio_b, Mar 2024

The idea of self-guide audiotours is good, but the app need to be drastically improved, and in our case, the audioguide of Rethymno, Greece was voiced by a guy with a very thick dutch accent that made it difficult at times to understand what he was saying and had to consult the text for clarifying.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi there, We're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your experience. Could you send more information on what you feel needs to be improved in the app? Feedback from users, like yourself, are important to us, and will help guide future improvements. As for the guide's accent, I understand that travellers from different countries may have trouble understanding narration by publishers with strong accents. I'm sorry that you weren't able to understand what was being said, though this sounds like it is a subjective opinion rather than one that would apply to all travellers. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback and are glad you found the text accompanying the audio helpful. Regards, Brent
