On the free Yonward app, youll find mobile guides created by a variety of authors. Hundreds of stories and tours cover neighborhoods, art, architecture, history, and more, with a particular focus around Boston. Activate guides you’d like to explore, and then let Yonward do the work. It uses the GPS on your iPhone to know exactly when and where to tell you about the places you’re interested in seeing.
If you enjoy using Yonward, youll love the AIA Guide to Boston app. With a more refined interface and curated, professionally written content, it puts the definitive guide to Boston architecture on the same location-aware platform, covering more than 1,000 sites across the metro area. For less than half the price of the book, you can carry this up-to-date field guide on your phone and have it with you always. Find it on the App Store.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
