Firstly, it said you don't need wifi after downloading the tour, but after we went to the startpoint only the ones, that had a sufficient internet connection could play. Furthermore, quite often we had the right solution but the app didn't accept it unless it was in all uppercase/lowercase or with an additional space ect.”
