Voice directions not working on iphone 8

Hi Guido,

I have done the upgrade to 4.0 and love and want to support the app. However the voice direction no longer works on my iphone, despite checking all settings. V3 worked fine, as does Waze voice directions, by comparison. I also checked on my ipad and all seems fine on that, with same settings, but different ios? Ios on iphone is 16.7.10. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi,

Tried 4.0 for the first time today.., but unfortunately: no more sound instructions. Latest iOS on an iPhone 13. I hope this can be fixed...

Scenic 4 voice directions are ok for me on iPhone 15 with iOS 18.0.1 (using offline Maps - not sure if that makes the difference)

Good point: I also use offline maps.

When I click on the screen on the directions.., I do get the audio instructions. But I have the iPhone in my inside pocket when I drive, so I can't click on the screen while driving...

Ok, i decided to delete the app on my iphone 8 as it was an upgrade. I reinstalled it as a clean version and viola, voice directions now work for me. Hope this helps.

There is currently a bug where navigation and tracking stops when Scenic is in the background and/or your iPhone is locked. Will be fixed in v4.01 (release in coming week). Apologies for the inconvenience.

If you still experience sound problems even when in foreground, try toggling the Voice Mode switch: Settings > Sound & Voice Instructions > Navigation Voice & Sounds > Bottom row.

If you're enjoying Scenic and are happy with the support, please leave a nice rating in the App Store. It would mean a lot to me ❤️

You are a hero Guido!
Today I drove again and the route planner kept working while the app was in the background. Problem solved!
Thanks a lot!
