Questions
Before you download
Is the app free to download?
Yes! HearAround is free to download on iOS and Android. We offer a selection of free 'Discovery' tours. Premium immersive tours created by top storytellers can be purchased individually.
Do I need an internet connection while walking?
No. We know travel data is expensive. You can download the entire tour (including the map and audio files) over Wi-Fi before you leave your hotel. The app works 100% offline using just your GPS.
How does the GPS triggering work?
It's magic (almost). The app monitors your location. When you enter a 'trigger zone' (usually a 20-meter radius around a landmark), the audio fades in automatically. You don't need to press play or look at your screen.
How long do the tours take?
Most tours are designed to be 45 to 90 minutes long, assuming a leisurely walking pace. You can take as long as you want, though—there is no time limit once you start.
Does it drain my battery?
Using GPS continuously does consume power. We've optimized our engine to be efficient, but we recommend starting a tour with at least 60% battery or carrying a small power bank.
