Download on wi-fi
Save your tours the night before on the hotel or café wi-fi. They download in a minute or two and use no mobile data, so you arrive at the museum fully loaded with nothing left to fetch.
Why offline matters
The feature that decides whether a guide actually works.
An audio guide that needs the internet to play is, in a museum, a guide that often does not play at all. The very buildings that hold the great collections — old, thick-walled, frequently below ground — are the ones that swallow phone signal whole. We have all stood in a gallery watching a stream refuse to load while the moment passes. An offline-first app removes that failure entirely: once a tour is on your phone, the museum's lack of signal is simply irrelevant, because nothing needs to be fetched. The tour is already there, playing from your device, as reliable as a song saved to your music app.
This is why we treat offline not as a nice extra but as the core of the product. Every tour in the library is downloadable, the download is quick on any wi-fi, and once saved a tour stays on your phone until you remove it — so you can download on the hotel wi-fi the night before and arrive at the museum needing no signal and no data at all. It also means travellers on a foreign SIM, or with no roaming data, lose nothing: the tour works exactly the same whether you have five bars of signal or none at all, which is the whole point of building it this way.
