A nice way to explore at your own pace

Holly_D, Jun 2025

Easy to use app. It was very neat how all you needed to do was walk with it running for the stories to play, or simply go to the "learn more" at a highlighted spot. I also liked that there were transcripts of the audio, and the clear audio directions and map. The stories were interesting, and the narration engaging. It was very informative and added a lot of missing context to my understanding of Reykjavik.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

It’s wonderful that the app's easy-to-use features, clear audio, and "Learn More" sections made your experience even better.
