Questions
Do I need to be there?
No. The story, the map and the timeline work from anywhere. The walks are ready for when you go.
Is it an app?
Nothing to download: it opens in your phone’s browser, or on a computer. Sign in with your email and it’s there, on any device.
Does it work without a connection?
The story and its pictures can. After you buy, open Your library and tap Save for offline — then airplane mode still opens that story. The map needs a connection (tiles are not stored on the phone).
Is there audio?
No. You read it as you walk, stop by stop, at your own pace.
Which languages is it in?
English and Spanish. Switch at the foot of any page.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. They get a code, to open it whenever they like, on any device.
What if it isn’t for me?
Ask within 14 days, for any reason, and you get your money back.
Try it before you go
The first 3 stops are free to read. The rest is one purchase, yours for good, with a 14-day refund.
