Hear the place you're standing in. The Road screen now starts with the story closest to you — tap "Listen free", no drive needed. • One simple player for every story: pause, go back 10 seconds, skip, and read the story with its sources. • Each region offers a free selection of stories to try before you buy. • Lorecast now starts on the road nearest to you, and lists your region first. • Fixed: tour code redemptions are now counted correctly.

Booked a Lorecast tour on Viator or received one as a gift? Tap "Enter tour code" on the Road screen, type your code, and the region is yours to keep - no second purchase.

Small update, nothing changes on the road. We renamed our App Store listing so travelers looking for a road-trip audio guide can find Lorecast.

A new map, drawn for the road. Lorecast now renders its own map: clean, quick, tilted toward the horizon, and free of third-party clutter. • New roads to hear: Joshua Tree & Palm Springs, Death Valley, and Interstate 15 from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and on to Zion. • Fixed: when a story could not load, the guide could repeat its "on your right" cue. • Restore Purchases now tells you when the App Store can't be reached. • A new app icon.

Driving the interstate beside Route 66? Lorecast now keeps telling you about the towns you pass — with honest distances, like "more than two miles to your right." • The guide never goes quiet without telling you why: finding GPS, not on the road yet, or a genuinely quiet stretch. • Fixed: the play button could start a demo drive instead of your real one. • One guide, one voice: every story is narrated by Miles or Della.

Improvements in this update: • Fixed: demo stories could stay silent after you had used the drive player • Stability improvements

Improvements in this update: • Simplified settings • Free demo: up to 15 stories across all roads, then the 7-Day All-Roads Pass • Requires iOS 15 or later
