Tuggi: Self-Guided Audio Tour
Travel Guide & Sightseeing
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Your audio guide for the road you are already on.
Tuggi tells you the story of the places you pass. Drive, walk, or cycle. When you come close to somewhere worth knowing about, the story plays on its own. No typing, no stopping, no looking at the screen.
HOW A TRIP SOUNDS
Open Tuggi, turn the guide on, and put the phone away. The castle on the hill, the bridge you are crossing, the square you just walked into: each one gets its own narrated story. Waze, Google Maps, Spotify and Apple Music keep running underneath. Tuggi speaks, then hands the sound straight back.
WITH THE GUIDE ON
• Stories that find you, in the right place, at the right moment.
• Audio in the language you choose, from 10 options, and everyone with you can listen in theirs.
• The full text of any story, one tap on CC, for reading along and for deaf and hard-of-hearing travelers.
• Offline listening. Download before you leave and hear everything with no signal at all.
• Any way you move: road trip, city walk, bike ride, a day out with the family.
FREE, EVERY DAY
Three stories a day, played by tapping a place on the map, in your phone's language. Reading is always free: open any place and read its name and description, as often as you like.
YOUR FIRST 3 HOURS
New to Tuggi? Turn on 3 hours of the full guide with a single tap. Activating them costs nothing, and they never expire.
PASSES: YOU BUY HOURS, NOT DAYS
• 10 hours, a day trip out and back
• 25 hours, a long weekend
• 45 hours, a whole holiday
One-time purchase. Does not renew. Your balance never expires, so the hours you do not use are waiting for the next trip.
HOW THE HOURS ARE COUNTED
Your balance runs while the guide is on. Turn the guide off and it stops. Every minute with the guide on uses one minute of your balance, with a signal or without one.
MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION
Rather not count hours? The monthly subscription gives you unlimited listening. It renews automatically every month until you cancel, and you can cancel anytime in the App Store.

Passes are hours now, not days. The hours you buy never expire, and the ones you do not use wait for the next trip.
On iPhones running iOS earlier than 26, the app was closing the moment you opened it. That was on us, and it is fixed: the app opens again on those versions.
If you already have paid access, it carries on exactly as it is. Nothing you bought is lost.

2.0.0 Aug 28
Keep your phone in your pocket. We'll keep talking.
Events happening near you are now narrated even when the app is in the
background and your screen is off. You walk, you take in the view, and
the guide keeps telling you the story.
And a trip is one trip again. Before, every time you paused the guide
and started walking again, the app opened a brand-new trip — a full day
could end up chopped into ten pieces in your history. Now, if you come
back within an hour, it's the same trip. The way it actually happened.
The map is easier to read, too: north stays fixed when the guide is off,
the compass is back, and the buttons are where your thumb can reach them.
About the last version: it wouldn't open on iPhones running anything
older than iOS 26. That's fixed — updating takes care of it. Sorry for
the time you spent locked out.
Everything else was housekeeping: steadier GPS at startup, sign-up
without interruptions, no more surprises when you log in or out, and a
plans screen that tells the truth about price and limits.
1.5.2 Aug 6
This one is all about polish. We went through the app and smoothed out the rough edges you told us about.
Tuggi now opens every time, without getting stuck on the loading screen. Stories play in the language you picked, skipping ahead works properly, and the guide no longer pauses on its own while you walk.
The compass is far more accurate, so the arrow points where you're actually heading. Offline listening got smarter too: Tuggi keeps what you haven't heard yet and frees up space by clearing what you already listened to.
We also restored access for subscribers who were locked out, fixed the daily free audio count, and reviewed the wording across every language.
Fewer crashes, less memory, and a smoother walk overall. Keep the feedback coming.
1.5.1 Jul 24
This is our biggest update yet, and it's all about helping you notice more of what's around you.
You can now find events and places happening near you. Open the new Explore view to see what's nearby, events are sorted by time, so it's easy to spot what's on right now or later today. Tap anything to learn more, listen, get directions, or set a reminder so it doesn't slip by.
We also taught Tuggi to speak your language, even when a story hasn't been recorded in it yet, it's now created for you right on the spot. On top of that, we added Mandarin and Korean, and place names finally show up translated too.
New here? Your very first walk now comes with a little guided moment: Tuggi points you to the nearest spot and plays its welcome story, so the whole idea clicks in seconds.
We also spent a lot of time making the everyday feel solid. GPS no longer freezes on iOS, your location starts more reliably, and the map follows you gently — even when you stop to take it all in. On the lock screen, you'll see the place name in your language alongside its artwork.
A few smaller things you might appreciate:
- A little more free listening each day if you're not a subscriber
- Fixed some rare crashes when opening a place far away
- Full support for larger text sizes
- One consistent way to open directions, everywhere in the app
- A cleaner look, with a color for each kind of place
Thanks for walking with us. Tell us what you'd love to see next.

What's New in Tuggi 1.3.3
Dynamic Island & Lock Screen
Your guide is now always visible, even when you switch apps. The Dynamic Island (iPhone 14 Pro and later) shows the current point of interest and direction arrow in real time. On the Lock Screen, a live banner displays guide status so you never need to unlock your phone mid-tour.
Siri & Shortcuts
Control Tuggi hands-free with Siri:
"Start Tuggi Guide"
"Stop Tuggi Guide"
"Skip this point"
All three actions also appear in the Shortcuts app so you can build your own automations.
Driving Focus Integration
Set up once in Settings → Focus → Driving → App Filters → Tuggi, and the audio guide starts automatically whenever you activate Driving Focus.
Improved Car Audio
Better Bluetooth A2DP compatibility with in-car entertainment systems. The Now Playing screen on your car display now shows the correct guide information.

Premium is now a door, not a wall.
• 24h free with no card. Activate full Premium for 24 hours when the daily limit hits — or whenever you want. No charge, no commitment.
• Smart reminders. We ping you 12h and 1h before your trial ends, with copy that anchors what you've heard and what's still waiting.
• Stories offline for regions without coverage. If Tuggi isn't in your area yet, drop your pin and we'll let you know when we arrive.
• Silent alerts. When you pass a story after your daily limit, the system pings in the background — no interruption to your driving.
• Redesigned paywall. Plan cards with per-day price, clear discount badges, and transparent renewal terms.
• Lighter in background. We rewrote the native limit guard and tier cache to save battery and memory on longer rides.
