Needs improvement It only has a computer voice read the wikipedia articles. I could easily find this information on my own. Also the audio doesn't pause when you leave the app.

Hear planet Tried it and liked it a lot. Not only helped me find my way around downtown, but told me what I actually wanted to hear about from each restaurant and attraction. Very cool app!!

Unoriginal content Thought there would be some original content but all this does is looks up google maps places (u-haul,etc) and reads the wikipedia entry on it.FCs too
