Don't Bother
LR_F, Oct 2023
Complete waste of our time and resource$, app would not load in an area with ample connectivity and on a new android... portions of audio, parts of a sentence, would come on randomly.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
I'm a bit puzzled by your review – on the one hand, it sounds like the app wouldn't load, but portions of audio came through. A little clarity would help me assist you better. Regardless, I'm here to help sort things out. The product's always there for you, so feel free to dive into the stories at home or explore another one from our extensive collection. And if things aren't clicking, reach out, and we'll discuss an exchange or refund. Cheers to smooth travels next time!
Fun time in a hot town

Loved the view at Mount Bonner and the rolling hills around Austin. Learned things I didn’t know about Austin.
Response from Host, Jul 2023

I also experience the same view from Mount Bonner, and the rolling hills are indeed stunning.
