FAQ

Good to know

Do I need mobile data?

Only to download a guide. After that it all works offline, including the map and GPS.

Does it drain my battery?

No. It uses your phone's normal location service and saves power between stops. A day of exploring is fine on most phones.

Do you track where I go?

No. Your location is used on your phone only, to play the right stop. We don't collect it and there's no ad tracking. See our privacy policy.

What does it cost?

Some guides and sample stops are free. Other guides cost €2–5 each, paid once. A country pass unlocks every guide in that country.

Can I change the language?

Yes, at any time in the app. Each story plays in the language you choose.

When can I download it?

Earwise is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play, starting with Turkey.
