Frequently Asked Questions

No, you don't need Wi-Fi throughout your institution. Visitors only need an internet connection once to download the app and its content. We therefore recommend offering free Wi-Fi in the entrance area. After the download, all content is stored on the device, so the app works offline for the entire visit.
The app itself is available for free on Google Play and the Apple App Store, but you can protect its content with a PIN code. Visitors then need to enter the PIN to access the content – for example, you can hand out the PIN with the ticket. The PIN can be time-limited, e.g. valid for 24 hours, after which the content is protected again. This keeps you in control of who can access your tour and when.
No. The app plays audio through the smartphone's built-in speakers: either the loudspeaker used for music and videos, or the earpiece used for phone calls. Visitors can switch between them at any time. Of course, the app also works with headphones or AirPods if visitors prefer.
Yes. If you already have an audio tour, for example on rental audioguide devices, you can bring it into the app. All we need are the audio tracks of your tour as MP3 files or a similar format. Your visitors can then enjoy the familiar content on their own smartphones – convenient for them and cost-effective for you.
No. The app does not collect any personal data from its users, so no separate privacy policy is required to operate it. We take data protection seriously and comply strictly with data protection regulations.
