Ever had that "wait... that's amazing" moment when you walk past something interesting? Naruho turns everyday exploring into a stream of those little discoveries. Point at a fountain, a building, a sculpture. Get the fascinating facts in seconds. Audio or text, your choice. Phone in your pocket as you walk, hands-free. NEW: A PASSPORT FOR EVERYTHING YOU DISCOVER – Collect as you go. Every story stamps a place into your passport, cities, countries and badges building up the more you explore. – Every landmark, named. Map pins now carry the place name, so you always know what you're looking at. WHAT MAKES NARUHO DIFFERENT Most travel apps march you from Point A to Point B, reading scripts someone wrote years ago. Naruho is the opposite. It is an ambient discovery layer that works wherever you are, surfacing the kind of facts you will actually repeat at dinner. – Snap to discover. Point your camera at a building, sculpture, or monument and Naruho identifies it and tells you the story, even where the map has no pin to tap. – Stories, not Wikipedia walls. Three to five sentences. One surprising angle. A story arc. – AI plans tuned to your mood. Type "hidden chapels in the old town" or "espresso bars locals use". Naruho plots the route. – Guided walks you can talk to. Build a short walking tour around what you fancy, follow it turn by turn, and just ask out loud when you want to know more. – Speaks 10 languages. Place names stay as you'll read them on the signs. – A memory of your day. Naruho recaps what you discovered on your walk. – Ambient walking mode (BETA). Music plays softly, and a voice cue plus a thirty-second narration greet each story you pass. Lock-screen controls. Free for thirty minutes a day. – Sorted for walkers. Nearby is grouped by minutes on foot, closest first. – Studio-quality voice on Pro. Premium narration that sounds like a real guide, not a robot. – Personalised. Pick your interests, from sights and food to history, art and nature. – Works anywhere. Tokyo temples to Parisian cafes. If it is on the map, it has a story.

Every story you hear stamps a place, collecting cities, countries and badges as you go. PLUS: every landmark on the map finally has a name, so you always know what you're looking at. THANK YOU: keep sending feedback to hello@naruho.app, it's shaping what we build next. ### 1.9.0 — 2026-06-24 Sharper under the hood. We've tuned how Naruho learns from the way you explore, so the stories and routes keep getting better, plus reliability fixes across ambient walks, snaps and plans. ### 1.7.0 — 2026-06-09 This update makes discovery feel like walking. New • Nearby is reorganised by how far you'll walk: Right here, A short walk, or Further out, always closest first. • Distances now read as walking time, like "3 min", because steps matter more than metres. • Quick filter chips let you focus on what you fancy: museums, historic sites, parks and more, on the list and the map at once. • A calmer, clearer look across the list and the pins. Refined • Naruho now surfaces places with a story and skips the noise. No more hotels, transit stops or nightlife. • Walking routes on the map follow the streets properly. • Tap a pin to read the teaser, then jump straight back to your list. Fixed • Smoother scrolling, and tidier layouts on smaller iPhones and at larger text sizes. • Location rests when you're not exploring, so it's lighter on your battery. As always: walk anywhere, point Naruho at anything, and hear what makes it interesting in about 30 seconds. ### 1.5.3 — 2026-05-19 Ask the narrator. Tap Ask during an ambient session and ask anything about what you just heard get a fresh 30-second story back. Plus polish across ambient sessions, content validation, and the post-session card. ### 1.5.2 — 2026-05-11 Ambient Mode is now free to try, thirty minutes a day. Walk anywhere, headphones in, and Naruho narrates whatever's around you. No route, no tour. Pro removes the daily limit. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
