“Frustrerende. Havde forstået, at det var med lyd - ikke at jeg skulle læse.. vi var 2 der skulle rundt og troede det, at man skulle angive antal personer, betød at begge deltagere fik aktiviteten på hver sin tlf. Føler det var total spil at betale for 2. Faktisk ønskede jeg at købe “Stockholm : Walking tour med lydguide på din smartphone” men, den kunne jeg ikke søge frem!”
