doesn't work on Android anymore. do not buy any tours, is a waste of money. i think the app is defunct because they don't even respond to requests. iOS support is marginally better, but not by much, not even worth purchasing there. i don't know why they took such a good idea with promise and stopped supporting it. a shame and a waste.

A lot of negative reviews for a defunct app. I wish the description would say that since being bought from Bose, Detour is no longer in use, as of May 2018. Or at least until Bose announces something with it. I miss having access to free walking tours, but will stick to alternatives for now.

Used this app a year ago in Rome and it was fantastic. Downloaded it for my upcoming trip to India and it crashes everytime I tried to log in using Facebook. Android os Mi Mix2. Would love to give 5 stars but I can't log into the account I've already made purchases with.

This app is defunct! Detour was sold last year to Bose who have taken the app offline while they figure out a way to integrate it with their AR tech. If you are looking for something similar try VoiceMap!

The app displays a blank, gray screen upon launching. It is completely unresponsive to any input.
