Oct 1, 2026
New version 1.1.0 → 1.1.1

• A new walkthrough on first launch: it shows the app in action instead of handing out tips. • Walking guidance: a turn banner, arrival time, buttons to open your navigator, and a note when you arrive. • Routes from afar: you see the walking line to the start, then choose to listen from here or start on site. The route takes over when you arrive. • Routes now run from 1 to the end: from the gate you entered, then from where you stand, without doubling back. The counter no longer jumps ahead ("6 of 12" at the start). • Bottom panels, the mini-player included, swipe away to the left. • Location access now lives in Settings, with a prompt before a route. Tapping Guide me mid-route asks whether to finish the current one. • A new introduction with photos of the places and a question about how much time you have. • The player sheet, Overview and places are refined.

About

Stand where gladiators fought, senators argued, and emperors ruled — with a guide that tells you the real story, right when you're looking at it. Tessera takes you through three of Rome's most important ancient sites in one app: the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Palatine Hill. 69 stops, each a short, vivid story — not a summary, a story that makes the stones make sense. WHAT'S INSIDE - The Colosseum: the arena floor, the hypogeum beneath it, the gladiators' gates, the engineering that let 50,000 people take their seats in fifteen minutes - The Roman Forum: the political and religious heart of ancient Rome — temples, the Senate house, the spot where Julius Caesar was cremated - The Palatine Hill: where Rome itself was founded, and where emperors later built their palaces HOW IT WORKS - Walk up to a spot and the guide offers you its story; nothing ever starts playing on its own. Or pick any point from the list and listen right now - An interactive map shows exactly where you are and what's nearby - Curated routes for however much time you have, from the essentials in under two hours to the full 69-stop walk - Works fully offline once downloaded, so you're not depending on a signal at the site - 8 languages: English, Russian, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Portuguese, Chinese A few stops are free to try before you buy. One purchase unlocks everything, for good — no subscription.
