Does TellTours work offline?

Yes. With TellTours Pro (coming soon), you can download entire cities to your device, including the high-fidelity map, points of interest, and localized AI voices, so the app keeps narrating without any cellular connection.

Do I need an account to use the app?

Yes, a free account gets you set up in seconds and keeps your saved tours, visited landmarks, and preferences in sync across devices. Then you can start a Curated tour, build your own with Plan a Tour, or hit Free Roam and start exploring.

What languages are supported?

TellTours has built-in multilingual support. Choose your narration language in Profile settings and the AI translates and narrates historical insights in that language.

How much battery does it use?

TellTours is optimized for long walks and road trips. Efficient location tracking and screen-off background audio minimize battery drain compared to traditional map apps.
