Since its inception in 2006, the OnCell team has worked on thousands of projects both in the U.S. and internationally. The Tour Guide App delivers location-aware information that visitors want in an intuitive and user-friendly format. OnCell has an App Builder Platform that offers a cost-effective product that allows clients their own iPhone and Android apps for audio tours or city/museum/festival guides through an easy-to-use web interface.
