Edit: updated to 3 stars after developer response, thank you! Will check out again after 2.0 is out. Please fix the free trial issue though :-) This app promised a 3 day free trial but I was charged $5 right away, I didn’t get a free trial. Then, I couldn’t even sign in! The app crashed while I was trying to sign in, and it did that three times in a row. I wasn’t even able to preview any features because the app requires that you sign up for a pricey subscription right away. I love the idea of this app and hope somebody makes a community-driven app for families to find places for kids someday that is free to use with a subscription for premium features.

Thank you for your feedback.Downloaded this app to find good places to stop with kids for a roadtrip & it was completely useless! There is no way to route your trip. The only thing it offers is random stops previous people have logged.

So sorry to hear about your experience! We are relaunching 2.0 this month with hundreds of thousands of locations in the app as well as a routing system. Stay tuned we hope you will give us another try. Best, The GoWhee team.For the price I don’t see this being worth it. It appears places listed are only user added. So not many places on the map.
I think it is much easier and obviously cheaper to just google.
I cancelled the free trial only mere minutes after signing up and seeing so few places on the map for large cities and none in smaller towns.

So sorry to hear about your experience! We are relaunching 2.0 this month with hundreds of thousands of locations in the app and many other features that will greatly improve your experience. Stay tuned we hope you will give us another try. Best, The GoWhee team.We love the GoWhee App! We always check the app for kid and family friendly locations whenever we are going to a new city or area. The advice and reviews from other parents is invaluable! There have been so many places we would have skipped over if we hadn’t found them on this app because we didn’t know they were there or online reviews didn’t help.
As a family with young children and love to travel, we are so excited about this app! It has great concept and so much potential to help busy parents plan and take the kids to cool places to stay, eat, and play! We hope it will continue to grow and become a must have for all families in the near future!
As a new mom with two little ones I’m starting to research all the ways to share the world with our kids! We want to be a family that travels. Trying this app out on our upcoming trip to Europe and excited to say it’s already been helpful in our planning! It’s helpful to know places other parents recommend!
Seemed great. Signed up. Cannot sign in.
As a mom who travels with her tiny human sometimes it’s hard to find age appropriate things to do in cities we have never been to. GoWhee has made finding things for my daughter to do a piece of cake. I use it during the planning process of our trips as well as when we get there since new things and places are added daily. I love it!
We love this app, especially for our road-trips! It’s so great to have something specifically focused on families. As a family of 6 with four young kids (under 8) the parent perspective is so SO helpful!
