Hear the story where it happened.
Take a short walk through New York with a route and audio you can follow on your own time.
The current beta is available through TestFlight on iPhone.
Each stop has a reason to be there.
We choose stops that help answer the walk’s question. Listen near each place, then keep moving when you’re ready.
A story you can follow
Each walk follows one question through the places that help answer it.
Audio in place
Hear context near the building, path, or corner where it belongs.
Your own pace
Pause for a view or a detour and continue when you are ready.
