this worked for two free stories. then I paid for it for three years and now it force closes every time I open the app. please fix. Update: I tried the suggestion from the developer and it still doesn't work. Force closes every time I try to use it, logs me out when I lose service. I was on a road trip from Denver to Vegas through some pretty great areas and wasn't able to enjoy the stories even after paying for three years.

Hi there, were you able to get the app working? To fix: 1)Delete the app, 2)Reinstall 3)Go to Settings> Apps> Autio> Storage & cache> and then tap CLEAR DATA. If you're able to reach out to [email protected], we'd love to give you 30 days of Autio access for free (as a small thanks!). Thanks for helping us make this experience better for everyone!

First notifications didn't work for 2 months. They offered to extend my subscription for 1 year for free and then ghosted me. Audio plays while other media is playing, you have to manually pause your music or podcast. Audio will play randomly when you don't want it to. Too many notifications now because they show up even when you aren't reasonably close to a story. I uninstalled.

Lots of potential. I want to be a superfan but cant for the following reasons: 1) No offline mode. You must have 5G data or WiFi for this app to work. When you're exploring a new place it's rare to have 5G cell service. 2) Even with good service, when you move around the map the audio tours won't update without taking drastic action to force an API call. If you don't have 5G, you're sunk. Autio will let you down 4 times out of 5. Worst part is, feedback isnt taken seriously by Autio
