App available for self-guided tours
S.G. Adventures, a Savannah company specializing in self-guided tour apps for smartphones, has released a new app called Historic Savannah.
The app, conceived by K. J. Stewart and Shannon Scott, was produced locally by S.G. Adventures and Tour Buddy apps. It includes text, photos, audio and video presentations on all 22 of the city’s squares, the historic sites around each square, River Street and Forsyth Park.
The user will have a tour map, complete with suggested routes, a GPS map for directions, a picture gallery and audio narrations for each site. Videos also are available for each site with a feature known as the “pop-up tour guide,” a video tour guide that pops up to tell you about the site where you’re standing.
The app has been released for Android and is to be available for the iphone next week. The cost is $2.99, and a “lite” or free version is slated to be released shortly.
The Historic Savannah App is available at Googleplay, Facebook and most major app distribution centers.
