What's New in Around Us

7.0.11

November 4, 2026

Around Us 7 is here: our biggest update yet. ▸ Made for iPhone Duo Around Us takes full advantage of both screens. Closed, the outer screen keeps everything at hand. Open, the inner screen lays out the map and the place you are reading side by side, and every fold is seamless. ▸ Audio guides Put your phone away and look up. With Around Us+, more than 500,000 places now have their own audio guide: a captivating minute about what stands in front of you. Playback continues with the screen locked, and you can share it with SharePlay. ▸ AR, split with the map Hold up your phone: the places around you appear in their direction, while a map beside the camera shows where they are and how far. On iPhone Duo, simply half-fold the device to split the view. ▸ Photo frame Close your iPhone Duo and set it down in landscape: it turns into a photo frame that lets you discover remarkable places, one picture at a time. ▸ A redesigned experience The map now fills the whole screen for a more immersive journey. Places open alongside it, navigation is simpler and everything is closer at hand, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Thank you for exploring with us. Every place has a story: listen to it. This version also fixes a crash that could occur after signing in with Apple.

Mieux qu’un guide touristique

Tous les guides dans une seule application. Personnaliser son trajet, trouver les sites à côté de chez soi, et même un restaurant pourquoi pas,… tout en gardant un côté ludique. J’adore cette application ! Bravo aux développeurs qui la rendent si facile à utiliser.

Juste incroyable

Je n’ai jamais vu une app de voyage comme celle ci. Une sorte d’audioguide mondial. Vraiment impressionnant. Et quand j’ai vu que l’app était française , j’ai dit cocorico ! Bravo à l’équipe : ça change ma façon de voyager et j’ai l’impression d’être plus intelligent en voyage. Maintenant je passe pour le « papa qui sait tout » 😁😁

Great idea

I like it, I built something similar for myself (pulling open source data and enrich it myself). I think the crowdsourcing/community building is hard for many reasons. Why contribute and maybe ruin a “secret” place? On the other side: how to find a secret place in the wild? It’s a catch 22. Anyways. I like the tech and the idea behind it!
I don’t care too much about the coin collecting and gamification part, though.

Correction des mauvaises localisations

Appli très intéressante et globalement très bien faite, mettant l’accent sur le patrimoine. Elle permet ainsi de faire des découvertes intéressantes lors de voyages ou même simplement dans sa/son propre ville/village.
Cependant, je n’arrive pas à corriger certaines mauvaises localisations de monuments ou lieux : mes demandes restent lettres mortes via le site et c’est carrément impossible via l’appli, un message d’erreur apparaissant à chaque tentative. Comment faire (je précise que je n’ai qu’une version gratuite d’Around Us) ?

Response from developer

Bonjour, merci d'avoir pris le temps de signaler ce dysfonctionnement, il est désormais corrigé (sur le web et dans l'app) !

Belle application… mais…

Très belle application collaborative qui permet à chaque autochtone ou à chaque touriste d’ajouter des lieux et monuments qu’il connaît ou a visité. Et ainsi aller plus loin dans la connaissance que les guides internet ou sur papier.
MAIS personnellement je suis perdu dans l’exploitation de cette application : pas de notice d’utilisation : c’est intuitif mais pas toujours. Cela peut freiner de futurs collaborateurs.
Je persévère !

Response from developer

Merci pour votre message ! Il y a un petit tutoriel lorsque vous cliquez sur votre profil et que vous cliquez sur "Tutoriel". J'essaierai de l'améliorer et de le compléter ! Malheureusement une note de 4/5 nous pénalise sur le store, je vous remercie par avance si vous pouvez la revoir à la hausse ☺️
