Let's Walk There!

Do I have to be in Greece to use this app?

No. You can walk anywhere you want, and Lydia, your guide, will describe your surroundings as if you're strolling through Athens. You'll even hear background sounds that were recorded there.

Is the distance I walk, accurately reflected on the map?

It may not be. All the statistics that are displayed, such as steps and distance, are taken from the phone's pedometer and are accurate to how far you've walked. However, everyone's progress on the map is displayed at an average walking pace. This means that people that walk slower than an average walking pace will progress a little faster on the map than they are actually walking, and people that walk faster than an average walking pace will progress a little slower on the map. But again, the statistics that are displayed, such as steps and distance, always accurately track your own progress.

This allows the audio experience to be the same for both slow and fast walkers. Without this contrivance, slow walkers would suffer long gaps in the audio, and fast walkers would miss some of it.

Can I play my own music?

Yes. On the Map Tab, tap the Settings icon in the upper-left. Tap Music in the Background Audio section to choose your music.

If I have an Apple Music subscription, can I use it to play music?

Yes. On the Map Tab, tap the Settings icon in the upper-left. Tap Music in the Background Audio section.

Once you've given the app permission to use your Apple Music subscription, you can choose your own playlists or you can select from music we've curated for Let's Walk There!
