Dex: Audio Tours & City Guides

Hear it in your language. • Tours can now be available in more than one language. When a tour offers it, pick yours before you press play. • Tour intros now respect your phone's silent switch. Quiet means quiet. • Images load faster and look sharper across the app. • Squashed a rare camera crash and tidied up tour exits. Press play and hear the world come alive.

Sharper eyes, quicker feet, and a heads-up when it matters — this one's all about making Dex feel instant. • Pinch to zoom on scan — get up close to any painting or object, 1x to 4x, straight from the camera. • Call quality alerts — Dex now catches a slipping connection before you do and tells you mid-conversation. • Push notifications — new tours and stories, delivered the moment they drop. • Faster and steadier — venue-to-tour navigation is dramatically quicker, a tour-switch crash is gone, and links land right after login. Your next story is waiting. Press play.

The all new Experience page! Tap into any Dex and see what makes it worth your time — what's inside, where it goes, why it's worth pressing play. Also in this release • Smoother starts — cleaner onboarding, plus a sound cue that sets the scene the moment a tour begins. • Uninterrupted tours — app updates no longer reload mid-story. Press play, stay played. • Steadier narration — your guide keeps talking when it should, no awkward silences. • Tidier tour lists — coming-soon venues now sit at the bottom, so what you can play stays up top.

New: Scan to unlock Point your camera at a tour's QR code and jump straight to its chapter. No searching, no scrolling — see the code, scan it, you're in. Also in this release • Start without the wait. Tours now begin playing while the download runs in the background. Hit play, walk on. • Smarter downloads. Quicker saves, and offline tours that survive an app update. • Tour links now open straight into Dex. Tap a link, land right where you should. • Lighter on battery. Dex now sips power instead of draining it, so you wander longer on a single charge. Now live in New York, London, Paris, Florence, Rome, and more.

New: Neighbourhood Tours Until now, Dex has lived at landmarks. But cities aren't really experienced only at landmarks. They're lived in the walks between them: the alley that smells like bread at 7am, the square where the chess players gather, the corner where the city changes character entirely. So we taught Dex to walk with you. With GPS triggers, neighbourhood tours are now fully supported. Wander into Trastevere or Camden Town or Harlem and Dex picks up on where you are, automatically. Turn a corner, hear a story. Cross a piazza, meet its ghosts. No tapping, no "what am I looking at" — just a guide who knows the neighbourhood as well as a local friend, narrating in real time as you walk. Also in this release * Zippier starts. The wait between opening Dex and hitting play just got a whole lot shorter. * More soundscapes. Gentle ambient music on the character screen, so things hum along nicely between stories. * Smarter downloads. Better queueing and fewer stalls when saving tours for offline use. Offline wanderers, rejoice! * Bug squashing. A handful of small fixes to make Dex feel that bit snappier all around
