The way of doing tourism has undergone a major transformation thanks to tablets and smartphones. It is now possible to book hotels or buy train tickets through our devices and in many places, tourist sites already have information to scan using QR codes that allow us to instantly know their entire history.
On other occasions, we have talked about platforms with which it is possible to manage everything related to our trips and getaways through the terminal screens. Next, we present you Stories, a Made in Spain app that can be very useful to learn more about our cities and all the heritage that is hidden in them.
Operation
The idea of Histories is simple: When we visit a city, a map of it shows us all the curious places that we can visit. Placing ourselves less than 200 meters from them, we can unlock curiosities and unknown aspects of the places we are visiting. When you download the app, we have 500 coins. Downloading each new experience is worth 10.
More than 40 cities
Being an app made by Spanish developers, we have a great variety of cities that we can visit with this app. From the largest such as Madrid and Barcelona, to the smaller ones such as Soria or Huesca. One of the claims that its developers use is the fact that it is possible to learn history lessons through it in an entertaining way and knowing aspects that many tourists ignore. On the other hand, it allows us to store all the anecdotes that we visualize.
Free?
Stories does not have no cost, which has helped it to exceed 50.000 users in our country. Although it has a good amount of information on the sites, it has also been criticized by some in aspects such as the integrated shopping, which can reach 33 euros per item, or the fact that to acquire more coins for free, it is necessary to wait a month.
As you have seen, it is possible to unravel every corner of our most famous cities through apps like Stories, with which we can have a large amount of information in the palm of our hand. Do you think it can be a good way to go sightseeing and get to know better everything that surrounds us? You have more related information available, such as lists of the best apps to plan all our routes through our tablets and smartphones.
