Good to know

Audio guides, answered

Everything you might wonder about self-guided audio tours, free walking tours, and how NextCorner works.

What is NextCorner?

NextCorner is a location-based audio guide app that plays immersive audio stories about the places around you as you walk. Think of it as a self-guided audio tour for any city: the history, characters, and secrets of each street, building, and neighborhood, narrated the moment you arrive.

Is NextCorner a free walking tour app?

Yes. Every month you get 20 free stories, no credit card needed. That's enough to explore a whole neighbourhood. A premium subscription unlocks unlimited stories and every Journey for $3.99/month or $29.99/year.

How are NextCorner's audio guides different from a guided walking tour?

A traditional guided walk ties you to a group, a guide, and a fixed start time. NextCorner gives you self-guided audio tours that begin whenever you do and follow wherever you wander. You get the depth of a great human guide, without the crowd, the cost, or the clock.

Do I need an internet connection?

An internet connection is needed to stream stories. Offline playback is on the roadmap. In the meantime, Passport Mode lets you browse and listen to stories in any city, anywhere in the world. No travel required.

Which cities have guided walks and audio tours?

NextCorner has audio stories and curated Journeys across 200+ cities worldwide, from Seattle and New York to Paris, Rome, and Tokyo, with new neighborhoods added every week.

Do I have to follow a set route?

Only if you want to. Use Flow to wander freely while stories find you, follow a Journey (a curated, themed walking route with stop-by-stop narration), or open the map and explore the city pin by pin.

How much does NextCorner cost?

You get 20 free stories every month at no cost. Premium unlocks unlimited stories and every Journey for $3.99/month or $29.99/year. Cancel any time.

How do I get the app?

NextCorner is available now for iPhone through the iOS beta on TestFlight. Tap "Try the iOS beta" to join. The Android version is coming soon.
