5.00I was a bit concerned about a self-guided tour but it was really simple to use. It even got us back on track when we took a wrong turn. The tour helped us to learn about some of the best parts of Trondheim.

3.00My wife and I downloaded the app the day before our tour of Trondheim. The download of the app and the audio was straight forward. On the day of our audio tour we followed the instructions to the starting point, but they were setting up for a festival and we couldn’t get close. The directions kept saying that we were 4 meters away. But because the entire area was fenced off we couldn’t get any closer. It was very frustrating to be that close and not be able to start the audio. Finally my wife found a prompt that read “force start " and when she did the audio started. Then repeatedly while following the audio our “gps” tracker” would drift off the track and a voice would come up and say “all who wander are not lost, please check your map and return to the route”. We knew that we were on the track. It was the gps that showed us to be off the route. Very annoying. At the end of the route the audio thanked us for choosing to use them. It would have been nice for the audio to have an option to select to guide us back to the starting point.
Interesting walking tour.

4.00A good tour and the app works really well for letting you go at your own pace (and even lets you know if you're going in the wrong direction!). It is a little short however, would've liked a bit more.
Very nice
