## What is Wanderpedia?

Every road has a story. You've passed a thousand places you'd have stopped for, if only someone had told you what they were.

Wanderpedia turns any walk or drive into a guided audio tour. As you move, it finds the places around you worth knowing about — a battlefield, a ghost town, a river, a forgotten inventor's hometown — and tells you their stories, out loud, in real time. No planning. No routes. Just press play and go.

A TOUR GUIDE IN YOUR POCKET
• You go. Hit play and pocket your phone. Wanderpedia quietly follows your GPS.
• Stories find you. The app scans for what's around you as you move.
• You listen. A fresh, conversational narration plays through your headphones or car audio. Then the next one cues up. And the next.

BUILT FOR THE OPEN ROAD
• Storyteller, not encyclopedia. Every narration is a short, vivid piece of prose — no dry dates, no bullet lists, just the interesting bit.
• Hands-free. One button to start. Pocket the phone and watch the road.
• Plays in the background. Lock the screen or switch apps — the story keeps going. Lock Screen and Control Center show what's playing.
• Speed-aware. On the highway it looks farther ahead; on foot it stays close.
• Remembers where you've been. Skips places it's already told you about, so your second trip down the same road finds new stories.
• Your tour history. Replay any past story, share it, or navigate back.
• Beautiful visuals. Glance at the screen and each story unfolds with a slow Ken-Burns pan over its photos.

MADE FOR iPHONE
• A real native app — fast, fluid, and at home on your phone.
• Works with AirPods, Bluetooth headphones, and your car's stereo.
• Privacy first. No account needed. Your location is never sold or tied to you.

The world is more interesting than it looks. Wanderpedia lets it narrate itself as you pass through.

Free to download. An optional subscription unlocks unlimited tours.
