Good idea, but needs more work. The map constantly zooms around when trying to find a route. You can't rewind commentary if you want to revisit something or realise you are looking at the wrong thing. If you accidentally come out of the walk you are doing there's no easy way back in. Plus some typos which can easily be corrected. Good idea, but I spent a lot of time trying to get back into the walk rather than enjoying the walk.

Really like this app, it provides simple, well paced but interesting walks. The stuff it shows you are away from the more obvious tourist parts which I love. The app has a few hiccups here and there but they're easy to get over. It would be great to have an option for creating personal walk, an extension to the existing "Explore" feature, but allowing you to select a list of points and "follow" it similar to the official walks. Keep up the great work!!

Hello Matt, Thank you very much for your comment, and your support of TrailTale. I would like to hear more from you, especially in relation to those hiccups you mention. We are now in the process of planning a new version so it will be of a great help. Please send me a note using the 'Contact' website page (www.trailtale.co.uk) with the details?

We've been using the app for lockdown walks round London. We've both lived here for many years and love exploring the city. We love Trail Tales, the walks are interesting and always take us to nooks and crannies we've never been before. We find the audio narrator charming, but her unfamiliarity with what she is reading and misprounciations can be a distraction. Might be worth rerecording with a more confident voiceover. Netherless we had a lovely time doing the Towers tour today. :)

Thank you very much for choosing TrailTale. I'm glad you enjoy these walks, please try our other London, and outside London routes. The recording you mention, indeed needs redoing. It was our first and later ones were are better. At the time we have used our own staff for narrating, so maybe a bit microphone shy.
