Random iPhone App of the week: The
Friends of the Boston
Public Garden, a private nonprofit group that maintains the garden, launched a free iPhone app that allows visitors to take a self-guided audio tour of the Boston landmark. The tour features
different chapters that play based on where a person is standing in the Garden.
Hill Holiday, the agency behind the app, installed iBeacons at key locations throughout the Garden,
allowing the apps to pinpoint a visitor's location to within a few feet. The app will point out the "Good Will Hunting" bench, the Wendall Phillips statue and the Make Way For Ducklings statue, among
other hidden gems.
Download the app here.
