Could be better.

My opinion may be somewhat jaded having used another app that works in a similar way. We’ve toured many different places in the US using the GuideAlong app, which I must say is far superior. It’s a great idea to have one of these apps in Iceland, but this one needs some work.

For starters, it would be helpful to know in advance when one is coming up on a site of interest, where it will be, how best to access it, and any helpful tips, such as the numerous ways necessary to pay for parking at many sites. This app informs you of something often times as you’re passing it, with no warning that the site is even being approached. Some of the subjects being discussed we couldn’t find because we were never told where to look. Maybe say, coming up on your right on the hilltop…bla bla. Or, look for the pull out coming up on your left to visit such and such a site. We found ourselves trying to play the next sound bite before we got there which is distracting while driving.

Also, it’s lacking filler. We find ourselves wondering if the app was working as we went long stretches with very little content. Iceland has tons of interesting history and folklore. Share more of that, even if it’s in random places.

Hope this helps you make improvements. Maybe partner with GuideAlong. They do a great job.
