On foot
Walking a city
Put on your earphones and wander. As you reach each church, house or square, Audelle tells you its story. Keep your music on: she lowers it while she speaks.
Every place has a story. Audelle finds it and narrates it.

How it works
Pocket the phone. Keep your eyes up.

She notices the places worth knowing as you approach.
Listen
A short story, told as you pass. In the car she lowers your music and speaks over it.
Four ways to travel with her
On foot, on the road, or from your couch
In the car
On a road trip
Through CarPlay or your car's Bluetooth, Audelle lowers your music or radio, tells the story of the most important places along your road, then gives it back.
Planning the day
Deciding what to see
Over coffee, let Audelle plan tours of the places most worth seeing nearby, hear their stories, and choose your day before you set off. How it works
From home
Exploring anywhere
Search for the town you grew up in, your own neighborhood, or next summer's destination. Move the map anywhere on Earth, tap a place, and hear its story.
What to see
Not sure where to go? Ask Audelle.
Tap What to see and Audelle plans tours of the places around you most worth seeing. A tour may be a few streets long, or a castle, a lake and a ruin a drive apart.
- Pick a tour. Swipe through them, with a photo of every place.
- Make it yours. Remove a place, add another, or drag them into a new order.
- Get directions. Send the tour to Apple Maps in one tap.
- Start, and pocket the phone. Each story plays as you arrive, and the places you have seen are ticked off.

Questions
Before you set off
Where can I get it?+
Audelle is on the App Store, for iPhone.
Where do the stories come from?+
For each place, Audelle researches sources on the web, such as Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap, and uses AI to synthesize what she finds into a short story. Like any guide, she can occasionally be wrong.
Do I have to be there?+
No. Search for a town or move the map anywhere in the world, tap a place, and hear its story. It is a good way to rediscover where you grew up, or to get to know a place before you visit.
Can I choose how much I hear?+
Yes. A dial on the map runs from Landmarks to Everything: hear only the best-known sights, or every place with a story to tell.
What does it cost?+
Your first stories are free. After that, stories use credits, which you buy in the app and which never expire. Hearing a story again is free.
Does it need an account?+
No. Open the app and go.
