App is very glitchy. If you wander off the path and explore other areas, it is hard to get the app back on track. Cannot easily do the route in a different order either (if starting at the opposite end from where the audio tour starts).

Could not download app even though I had full bars which made this totally useless. I have an iPhone 13 so it is a newer model.
