Description
This app organizes the vast and varied library of Rick Steves’ audio content into geographic-specific playlists so that travelers can enjoy ready access to the information that relates specifically to their travel plans. Many tracks provide general cultural and sightseeing information gleaned from his public radio program, Travel with Rick Steves. Other tracks are self-guided tours to great sights and historic walks. While we travel there’s lots of down time, and this application can both entertain and teach. Rick Steves Audio Europe will hopefully make your European travels more meaningful and more fun.Features:
• The app downloads and stores audio files on your device. No Wi-Fi or cellphone connection is required to listen. (You will need a connection if you choose to add audio tracks later.)
• Handy maps (PDF) that complement the self-guided audio tours can be viewed on your device or printed from any computer.
• The audio content originates from Rick Steves guidebooks and the Travel with Rick Steves public radio program. Self-guided tours are excerpted from Rick Steves country and city guidebooks.
• Rick Steves Audio Europe is a work in progress. New audio tracks will be added and existing tracks updated as necessary.
Requirements:
• Android OS 1.6 or higher.
• A Wi-Fi or cellphone connection is required to download audio files.

Great stuff! - Moto Razr Guides other than Rick as well as himself, These are mp3 podcasts that you can download & listen to offline. Walk tours too. Interviews of local guides as well. Crashed for first big download only.

Some content would download, and then I encountered problems. Don't know if it's a problem with my DroidX, or the app. I've got plenty of space available, but content won't download.

Great idea but crashes The idea and coverage of places is great! We see that lots of work was put into it, but the app crashes every minute on Nexus S.

Great Excellent stuff..used extensively in Rome. The app keeps crashing though. I for one didn't mind it as it was completely free!

Great! Studders when the screen rotated so turn that off in phone settings. Worked great as a tour guide through Pompeii ... except skipping the brothel

The audio content is OK but the app itself has many problems with freezing and resetting making it unusable. Skip this and just get the mp3.

Unreliable When it works it's great. However, it crashes or freezes constantly. If I rotate my device while listening to an mp3 it makes the mp3 restart.
