This looks good - maybe not so helpful to experienced travelers, but still good. The maps alone are probably worth the trouble of downloading it. From the Rick Steves site:
The Rick Steves Audio Europe app organizes Rick’s vast and varied library of audio content into geographic-specific playlists so you can enjoy ready access to the information that relates specifically to your travel plans. You’ll get Rick’s 25 self-guided tours of Europe’s top museums, sights and historic walks — plus 200 tracks of travel tips and cultural insights from his radio show — all for FREE!
- The Android version is in development. Stay tuned for a release date.
- This app downloads and stores audio files on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch running iOS 4 or later. No Wi-Fi or cellphone connection is required to listen. (You will need a connection if you choose to add audio tracks later.)
- Download the audio files before you go or use a wi-fi hotspot in Europe to avoid incurring data charges.
- Handy PDF maps that complement the app’s walking tours can be viewed on your device or printed from any computer.
- Audio content originates from Rick Steves’ guidebooks and the ‘Travel with Rick Steves’ public radio program. Self-guided walking tours are excerpted from Rick Steves’ country and city guidebooks.
