Via the Hearonymus app or directly in the browser
Hearonymus was originally launched as a native platform app. There was a good reason for this: digital platforms generate promotional benefits for all participants (see also the article “700,000 Opportunities…”). Furthermore, natively programmed apps represent the highest standard of development. They are leaner and more stable, and they make the most of a smartphone’s capabilities by allowing access to virtually all device functions. Offline functionality and audio playback via the phone’s earpiece are just two examples of these capabilities.
Despite the many advantages of a platform app, there has been growing demand in recent years for an app-free audio guide solution. Hearonymus direct is precisely that solution. No need to install the Hearonymus app or download anything—chapters play directly in the browser. Features such as the chapter overview, map, and number entry are also available with Hearonymus direct. With Hearonymus direct, you receive a QR code for each chapter; visitors simply scan the code to listen to the chapter immediately. Even if your guide is available in multiple languages, only one QR code per chapter is required, as language selection takes place directly within the browser.
The Hearonymus direct browser solution is a viable alternative if you do not require the full range of app features, if an internet connection is available throughout the location, and if you are willing to forgo the promotional benefits (network effect) of the Hearonymus platform.
