How it works

Three steps, then just walk.

  1. 1. Pick a tour

    By time, theme or where you are.

  2. 2. Put your headphones in

    The app guides you stop to stop on the map; each story starts when you arrive.

  3. 3. Walk at your pace

    Pause for coffee, continue tomorrow. Everything is downloaded, so it works offline.

Need turn-by-turn directions? Every stop hands off to Google Maps or Apple Maps.

Tours

FAQ

Good questions.

Anything else? Write to us at [email protected].

Do I need to download an app?

No. isoli runs in your browser. Tap “Add to home screen” and it opens like an app, without the app store.

Does it work offline or on roaming?

Yes. Each tour downloads to your phone before you start, audio and map included, so you don't need data on the street.

How much data and battery does it use?

A full tour is a single download, best over Wi-Fi. While you walk, the screen can stay off and you just listen.

Which languages?

English, German and Russian.

What happens after 7 days?

During the pilot your access stays free. We'll ask your opinion and never charge you automatically.

Can I pause and continue tomorrow?

Yes. isoli remembers the last stop. Stop for coffee, go back to the hotel, continue whenever you like.

Are the tours guided live?

No. They are self-guided audio walks: a narrator tells the story, the map guides you from stop to stop.

Can the app translate when I talk to people?

Yes. The live translator splits your phone screen between two people: you speak your language, the other person hears and reads German, and back. It also works with English, French, Spanish and Russian, and photo translation reads menus and signs for you.

Can it help me plan the whole trip?

Yes. Create a trip with your dates, where you're staying, who's coming and what you're into, and you get a day-by-day plan board. The AI planner suggests drafts, companions join with a link, and the plan stays on your phone offline.
