Issues With the Audio Content
What’s more, each location listed within French Quarter, Garden District Historic Tours and New Orleans Streetcar Tracker comes detailed with as many as half a dozen high-quality photos, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
As I mentioned above, however, there are some issues surrounding the audio content, so while the map and image content is great you might want to compare this app with similar developments before downloading it.
