  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

A new introduction on first launch: a few slides about the guide and one question — how much time you have. Your answer picks the walk the app tour shows you. You can replay it any time from Settings. Buying is one step shorter: the price button on the map opens the payment sheet straight away. If your phone is short of space, the guide tells you before the download — not halfway through it. Settings now have a Contact us section: email, help and the privacy policy in one place. Plus a smoother map and small fixes.
