“This was a great way to explore A Coruña. We were on a cruise, and the kids were getting a bit tired of guided tours. This app made exploring the city a game, and the kids really engaged with it. The app will guide you to a location (with the assistance of a map), and then ask you several questions that require you to explore that area to answer. Then it moves on to another area and asks more questions. I believe there were roughly 10 locations all together—it took us a few hours to complete it without rushing through.”
