We are excited to announce that the new version of PocketGuide is already available on the app store! This is the biggest update so far! We implemented the most requested new features in this version:


- Tour sneak peeks - now anyone can access the first 3 sights of any tour without purchasing it. 

- 3D tour previews - you can check out the tour you are about to purchase! You can see the route, main sights of each tour on their info page.

- 2D Experience previews - a 2D preview with your track and experiences so that you can check out what you share!

- Streaming content downloads in the background - enables you to use the application while the audio content is being downloaded.

- Download without purchase - not sure if you want to buy a tour? Now you can download it onto your phone in case you change your mind, so that you’ll only have to unlock the content.
