Perfect Exploring Tool
I use this app in the city that I live in to discover new places near me and am so impressed with it. I love how this app always has a new suggestion and that I can keep tabs on places I want to go so I can mark them off my list and not forget about them the next day. 10/10 recommend this app for anyone who’s looking for a new adventure - this community of explorers is amazing.

Finally a place to document my fav food places!
I’m tired of telling people a bunch of names of places to go instead of sharing a list. The feed is pretty amazing to discover new places as well.
The perfect app to explore the world
I found that one of my passions is to explore new places in my city, I love to go every weekend to a new place. I discovered Welcome App and I believe it’s the best app I have in my phone. It shows me amazing places every time, I can see real reviews and photos, and I can also post about the places I go! I like that this is app is building a community of people who likes to try new things, and that it recommends you places according where you are, what you like, the time of the day, the weather and more! 🤩✨

The ultimate fomo fix
Flip through the TikTok style feed, find dope spots, and save them for later. I love it. Thank you for making this 🙏🙏🙏
Limited support
Doesn’t seem to be a way to find out what cities are included unless you’re fully registered which requires giving phone address etc. developer doesn’t show info or accept questions.
Welcome Smart City
It’s possible that this app is great. However you first have to install it and that’s a miserable experience. Don’t waste your time.
Welcome 2.0 Lacks What Made Welcome Special
I was truly bummed today to pull up one of my favorite apps to check a future travel destination to find a top to bottom overhaul of it’s features. What made Welcome so fantastic to me was it’s AI driven Day Planner, where it would walk you through a mock day at your chosen location. Then in a Tinder style swipe system you choose or nix alternate plans and it would integrate those choices into updated plans. I can’t count how many days in different destinations I let Welcome take the wheel.
As someone who gets overwhelmed by the constant barrage of travel recommendations trying to compile and cross reference every pro/con, it was a beautiful reprieve to allow this app to plan fantastic itineraries.
If the original Welcome wasn’t popular it wasn’t a content issue it was an exposure issue.
They’ve now transitioned into a Trip Advisor-esque app that doesn’t hold a flame to its predecessor, and while of course I wish them well and all the success, I hope someday another company realizes the magic in the original vision and finds a way to market it better. Any time I shared the app with friends or family they were amazed by how inventive it was. It’s sad that it appears none of the previous submissions or content has been brought over. Again, I’m so happy for the team in their success in bringing this version to market but hopefully they’ll be able to take the magic of the original and introduce it into this new iteration.

We appreciate your review! We take user feedback seriously, and would love to better understand how we can support your use case. Please reach out to matthew@welco.me. I look forward to speaking with you.
Better than Yelp
Yelp always shows me places Ill NEVER go. What's cool about Welcome is that it only shows me stuff that's my vibe. Would be great if developers could get more cities loaded!
in Saigon, meh
I'm using the app in Saigon.
There seems to be listed only a fraction of the businesses that are present in the city. It's aware of the big tourist spots and some restaurants but that's the extent of it.
I just opened the app with the orange lightning enabled but I was still recommended a place that's closed. Not only that it's closed in real life it even says it's closed in the app. So not sure how real time that recommendation is.
Hopefully the app works better in other locations as it appears quite promising.

Real time travel guide
Finally! A travel guide that tells you what to do depending on where you are and what time it is! It’s a must. I’ve been using it in NYC and can’t wait to travel and use it
Local, Real-Time Travel Tips
I’m generally a skeptic of travel apps but Welcome has won me over. It’s real time, personalized recommendation feeds helps me find local spots that I wouldn’t otherwise know about (even in my own city)! I also love how I can create itineraries to share and follow other influencers or brands that I trust to see where they’re going. It’s helped me plan ahead and also live more in the moment when I’m somewhere new. Thank you to the smart people who built this app!

Obsessed
I’ve lived in my Neighborhood for over four years and I have discovered so many new places that I didn’t even know existed that were right around the corner because of this app
Game changer
Very useful app for getting to know your city. Excellent for place discovery. Love it!
Love this new app!
Welcomes been refreshing to use when I travel the globe to help pinpoint the best spots, favorite activities and delicious restaurants you would otherwise take hours to research and find. Def a must to have on your next trips, who wouldn’t want to go on a journey to the best places!
A must have! Try it where you live too!
While this app is amazing for travel, I live in the small town of Los Angeles and have found this app as a perfect cure to get off the sofa to find new spots or rediscover old ones around town! Whether you live in or near a large city or are traveling to a new one, this is a must have!!!
Overall a great day to day itinerary app
The app has a great clean layout for any user to use. Perfect for spontaneous day to day planning, helps you find things to do near by.
One thing I would recommend to add, being able to make dinner reservations within the app. Great overall for finding things to do in a new city!

Tinder of travel. Didn’t like that you can’t browse through a city. You have to like or dislike places before you can see the next without even knowing whats available.
Best App For Sharing Travel Tips With Friends
As an avid traveler and someone who has lived abroad, I am the go-to person in my network of family and friends to provide travel recommendations before someone goes on a trip. Before Welcome, I wasted time crafting hand written itineraries, emails and docs and sharing countless google maps locations and photos. Now, all my tips are organized in one place, making it easier than ever to share with my community!

Coolest travel app around
As someone who travels a lot and regularly shows up without a plan, Welcome is the app I’ve been missing my whole life. Say goodbye to hours wasted in your hotel/hostel/Airbnb googling the best bar/restaurant/activity in the area. Welcome puts together an awesome last minute itinerary for you based on your location.
