While mobile data costs have decreased significantly and roaming charges are lower that ever, high-quality mobile guides can still be quite data-heavy. With rich content like high-resolution images and videos, a guide can easily exceed 50MB.
Even though data transfers are more affordable now, international data usage can still add up, especially for tourists who might not have access to local WI-FI, and for many tourists, it’s still a significant consideration.
Why Offline Mode Remains Essential
Offline access is one of the most requested features for mobile guide apps, and for good reason. It allows users to download and sync the guide while connected to Wi-Fi, so they can access it later without worrying about data costs or connectivity issues.
How ARtour Makes It Seamless
ARtour ensures that offline access is effortless. Once the guide is downloaded over Wi-Fi, all content is saved directly to the user’s device. There are no extra settings or buttons to worry about – just a smooth, hassle -free experience that lets travelers enjoy their visit without data concerns.
By offering offline modes, we enhance the user experience, making travel more enjoyable and less stressful.
