GPS audio city stories
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Every city has layers. Some are easy to see. Others reveal themselves more slowly — in the details of a building façade, the history behind a public square, the story of a bridge, a monument, a neighborhood corner, or a place you might otherwise walk past without a second thought.
SoundStride is a GPS-aware audio storytelling app designed to help you experience those layers as you explore. As you move through the city, stories become available around you, offering context, history, architecture, culture, and unexpected connections to the places at your feet.
Rather than following a prescribed route, SoundStride is built around the simple act of wandering. You choose where to go. The city unfolds as you do.
Whether you're visiting for the first time or rediscovering familiar streets, SoundStride offers a different way to experience urban spaces — one that encourages curiosity, observation, and a deeper sense of place without demanding your attention from the world around you.
What you can do with SoundStride:
• Listen to location-aware audio stories connected to nearby places
• Explore freely without following a fixed route or itinerary
• Choose between shorter Highlights and more in-depth Insights when available
• Discover stories about history, architecture, culture, and local life
• Read transcripts alongside audio content
• Download city content for offline access
• Adjust playback speed to suit your listening style
SoundStride is designed to complement the rhythm of walking. Some stories are brief companions as you continue on your way. Others invite you to pause, look more closely, and spend a little more time with a place.
Using your location, the app surfaces stories that are relevant to where you are, helping transform ordinary walks into richer experiences. Downloaded content keeps stories and transcripts available even when connectivity is limited.
Launch cities include New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., with additional cities planned.
Wherever your walk takes you, SoundStride helps reveal the stories woven into the streets, landmarks, and everyday places that make a city unique.
