Uncover Hidden Tales: In-App Audio Tour of Berlin's Jewish Quarter
App is very glitchy. Crashed about 20 times in 90 minute tour. Ate up battery. Info is interesting but needs work. No mention of Jewish cemetery and memorial even though goes straight past it. Similarly no mention of the brass plaques in the pavements outside houses that Jews were taken from which commemorate their names, dates of birth and known dates and places of death.
