HOW IT WORKS
As you travel, Autio serves up stories based on your geographic location & interests. The audio vignettes, generally 2-3 minutes in length, tell the history around you, painting a multi-dimensional picture you’re unlikely to get from a history book or visitor's guide. Autio answers the questions we all ask as the odometer turns.
ABOUT AUTIO
Humans are moved by stories. Stories that make us laugh and cry. They move us to come together and do amazing things. Since the dawn of time, stories have been the way in which values and knowledge are passed from one generation to the next — each adding their wisdom and experience along the way.
It’s time to connect with the sum of our experience, to enrich our lives with the stories of today, and to inspire the great storytellers yet to come.

Hey Autio Explorers!
We’ve done some serious bug squashing, so it’s time to hit the wipers and get those critters off the windshield.
Safe travels,

Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
If you’re headed out on a great American road trip, flip on Autio, an audio entertainment app that tells the stories, secrets, and lesser-known histories of the people and places you pass on the highway. We love how Autio’s audio stories (read by a cast of narrators including John Lithgow, Phil Jackson, and the app’s cofounder Kevin Costner) dig deep into major destinations and landmarks as well as often forgotten stories.
This is an excellent app
I am a startup lawyer and I help a ton of app developers. I have pitched this exact app to a bunch of them because I wanted to see an app like this made. The teams all concluded the same thing: it would take a Herculean effort before any revenues would come. This would be a passion project more than a simple utility application. I believe that is correct but I think the team at here hear have found the right people who are passionate about learning and sharing because this app is excellent. The experience is great and the content is solid. This is a perfect application for someone who travels a lot and tends to have their nose buried in a guidebook or loves reading the plaques at historic sites. I’m so excited this app is here.
Wonderful road trip app
I tried this app out when I was driving from Rhode Island to North Carolina and then to Arizona and then back to Rhode Island. It made the time go by so much faster and kept my mind occupied as I was traveling alone. I learned so many things about history and people and culture that I had had no idea of. Now I have all of these places that I want to go back to that I learned about on my trip. There’s so much history that can’t be learned unless someone or something, like this app, shows it to you. I found some inaccuracies, one of the women’s voices kinda went right through me, and I struggle to find where I am located on the app so that I can see the places that are around me. I have used this at home since I’ve returned from my trip and it’s even more fascinating and disturbing that there’s so much history in my local area that I haven’t learned. I would highly recommend this to anyone who spends time on the road.
