The main historical attractions of Valletta are presented very nicely, it's a bit of a shame that the application crashed quite often and there is no information that there is also a trip to Mdina and Rabat and Gozo in this audio guide.

5 out of 5 stars

The audio set was interesting, easy to find. Maybe improve the detail of the audio by trying to navigate a view, a monument in a precise and visual way

5 out of 5 stars

The app is very intuitive and easy to use, the explanations are complete and interesting. A good option to discover the islands at your own pace.

Nice, it would be nice to have a path to follow otherwise you go a bit here and there but there is no logical thread
