Rick Steves Audio Europe

Rick Steves is a leader of Europe travel books and itineraries. The organization came to 6D Global (then Storycode) to revamp their existing mobile audio tour app. Based on the existing UX, our team redesigned the Rick Steves Audio Europe app to prominently feature tour photos, allow easy access to walking tour maps and audio transcripts, and provide an up-to-date listening experience. To-date, the app has been downloaded more than one million times, with upwards of 10,000 active users on a given day.

This was fun project to work on, not only because of the beautiful photography, but because I’ve personally used Rick Steves’ guide books many times over the years and it was fun to imagine how users would engage with the material on their phone. On a recent trip to Italy, I become one of those million users!
