UCPlaces | Your tour guide app

I was looking forward to a simple self-guided driving tour in NY. Sadly it took multiple starts and stops to complete our tour. The app skipped stops, stopped mid-location description, misinterpreted driving moves and basically took twice as long as advertised due to poor performance. We enjoy the content but not the experience.

Downloaded Washington DC DuPont circle, intended to walk to start point, app design allows for drive directions only. Dissatisfaction. Connected to gps with difficulty, ended up with starting on location No3, 1 and 2 did not worked for us. Biggest disappointment was the content of narration. Very little history, that DC has in abundance, pointing to embassy flags and location that are very visible without an app. Stoppped using after 30 minutes. Maybe other tours are better, I wouldn’t know.

We tried to use the app to take a “peaceful” driving tour through Sedona. The app failed to integrate to our car’s information center, but I won’t blame that on the app, since I’m not 100% sure. The directions were hard to follow. When we tried to restart the tour on a site other than the first one, she got wrapped around the axle and kept repeating the introduction multiple times. We ended up closing the app and giving up. Wish we could get our money back. The narrator’s voice was nice.
