First notifications didn't work for 2 months. They offered to extend my subscription for 1 year for free and then ghosted me. Audio plays while other media is playing, you have to manually pause your music or podcast. Audio will play randomly when you don't want it to. Too many notifications now because they show up even when you aren't reasonably close to a story. I uninstalled.

Nice app. A couple of issues. In my hand, I need to keep 'waking up' the app to prompt new stories. It would be nice for tne app to stay awake as GPS during the whole road trip. Also it would be far more relevant to start each story by referring to the relevant place being discussed and it's specific nearby location more clearly before starting to tell the story or the information

I only listened to 3 stories. Two were not even related to the area that I was traveling in. The other one has a little interesting info but they pronounced the city incorrectly again and again. The general tone of the recordings is like an NPR broadcast. Just droning on and on. I tried to cancel but it's not possible on the app. There is also no customer service contact info. Huge waste of time and money
