SEE WHAT’S AROUND YOU
Where To? is an incredibly easy way to find the closest steakhouse, bank branch, billiard club, or anything else you might be looking for – whether you are on vacation in Paris or in your own back yard!

AUGMENTED REALITY
Explore a cool new way of visualization by displaying nearby locations in the live camera image, on top of reality. Being able to see through walls, it’s like X-ray vision for your iPhone.

### 5/5 — Sehr gute App

*2026-07-10*

… und prima Support.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank! LG Sarah 🌺

### 5/5 — So many things to do!

*2026-06-25*

Amazing app for finding places and things to do near me. So easy to navigate checking out new places i never knew existed. Perfect app for exploring!

### 5/5 — Super App

*2026-06-24*

Alles was man unterwegs braucht wenn man ein Restaurant oder egal was sucht. Die Zusammenarbeit mit weiteren Apps zum navigieren klappt auch prima. Dennoch muss ich einen Bug melden: Und zwar sehe ich die Beiträge nicht, bzw. nur mit einem Workaround. Ich muss mein Ziel als Widget speichern und siehe da die Beiträge erscheinen.
Ich benutze das IPhone SE mit IOS 
18.7.7

**Developer response:** Danke für den Hinweis. Wir haben das Problem im 13.5.7 Update behoben. LG Sarah 🌺

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-06-04*

Everything was wonderful and the best Chi Tea latte I have ever had!  So much so my coffee loving husband bought one for his myself when went back.  Don’t miss this one.

### 5/5 — Top! Genial

*2026-05-29*

Alles super übersichtlich, schnell und einfach zu handhabende App. Der Support funktioniert auch exzellent.  Sehr zu empfehlen!

**Developer response:** Danke sehr für das Lob, ein toller Ansporn für uns! Liebe Grüße, Sarah

### 5/5 — The best App

*2025-10-08, version 13.5*

This App is a must-have. Fantastic!

### 5/5 — I know I don’t celebrate holidays Labor Day weekend I love some people but maybe

*2025-09-01*

Chris Mckeehan maybe this coming next too celebrate happy Labor Day next year but thanks coming year 2026

### 2/5 — iPad?

*2025-08-28, version 13.4.9*

Auch in 2025 keine iPad Unterstützung - das ist wirklich fad.                                                                 

Die App gefällt mir sehr gut. Abos schliesse ich so gut wie nie ab. Hier ist der Preis aber fair und auch der „für immer Kurs“ geht in Ordnung.

Das einzige was mich wirklich extrem stört ist, dass es keine iPad Unterstützung gibt. Der iPhone Screen im Querformat im Jahr 2023 geht einfach gar nicht.

Ich nutze für die Reise und im Auto seit Jahren immer ein iPad Mini und zur Planung auch schon mal das große. 

Wenn das iPad quer am RAM Mount ist und der mickrige iPhone Emulations-Screen angezeigt wird kann ich nix erkennen. Das geht besser.

### 3/5 — Nicht zeitgemäß

*2025-07-31*

Das Navigationsrad auf dem Splashscreen macht die Nutzung unnötig unkomfortabel - das hat lediglich antike iOS 2 Vibes. Mir fehlt die Kabel und eine progressive, simple und selbsterklärende Navigation.
Dann: warum soll ich die App über „Mini Connected“ verbinden, kann aber nicht das viel nahe liegendere CarPlay nutzen? Leute, kommt mal in 2025 an, bitte. Euer Content sollte es das doch wert sein.

### 5/5 — Beste App

*2025-06-14*

Tatsächlich benutzen wir diese App seit Jahren. Finden in jedem Land wo wir bisher waren, Läden, Restaurants, Apotheken, Banken etc. Sie ist die beste App die sich auf meinem Handy befindet. In Notlagen auch Ärzte oder Krankenhäuser. Bisher durch die Rezensionen immer top Erfahrungen gemacht. Tausend Dank an die Entwickler!
