New in Guidera 1.3 • Offline tours: download a tour and walk it without internet, with each stop's story, the walking route and, with Premium, the audio. Free: one featured tour at a time (text), unlocked by a short video. Premium: up to 10 tours with audio. • Build your own tour, free: name it, pick a city and add up to 30 stops. Or tap any place on the map and choose "Add to a tour". • Share tours as links: friends with Guidera open the tour in the app; everyone else sees the stop list on a web page. You can stop sharing at any time. • Story cards: share a place story or a finished walk to Instagram Stories, WhatsApp and more, with your own photo. The photo never leaves your phone. • On the last stop, "Next" becomes "Finish", followed by a Tour complete screen. • New featured tours load by themselves, and stories open reliably after the app wakes in the background.

Stories you can trust, now faster Guidera 1.2 changed how your guide learns about a place. Before telling a story, it researches the place in real sources: Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikivoyage travel guides, OpenStreetMap and official city and heritage websites. Then it tells you what it found, in your guide's voice. New in 1.2.1 • Faster stories: once a place has been researched, its story opens instantly for everyone, not just on the device that researched it first. • One story per place: a place tells the same story whether you tap it on the map, play it on a tour or hear it in Walkman. • A map when there's no street view: places without street-level imagery now show a clean map of where they are. • Clearer screens in dark mode: settings, place pages and tours are now easy to read when your phone is in dark mode. • Fixed: "Manage ad privacy" in Settings now opens your privacy choices. What came in 1.2 • Researched stories: dates, names, architects and legends come from real sources, not guesswork. • Double-checked: every story is checked against its sources before you hear it. • Sources under every story: see where each fact comes from and open the original page. • Honest when little is known: for a small café or a quiet side street, your guide says so and tells you about the neighbourhood and nearby landmarks instead of inventing history. • Richer famous places: big landmarks get fuller stories, with the surprising detail first instead of a textbook summary. • What's around you: nearby landmarks with real distances and directions. • Smarter chat: follow-up questions are answered from the same researched facts. If the answer isn't there yet, your guide looks it up. • Walkman tours: Walkman plays the same researched stories and prepares the next stop's audio before you arrive (Premium). • Better quick facts: the facts panel now shows only well-sourced details. • Tapping a place on the map opens exactly that place. • Fixed an issue where tour audio could read the facts panel aloud. The first time any place is researched, it takes a little longer. After that, it opens instantly.
