Viele Möglichkeiten und doch eine einfache, intuitive Bedienung! Bin begeistert; empfehlenswert! Danke; App-Kauf hat sich gelohnt! ### 5/5 — Tolle App *2022-02-03* mit fairem Preis und nachvollziehbarem In-App-Kauf. Läuft bisher sehr stabil und intuitiv. Einzig die Zuweisung von Bildern zu Orten funktioniert nicht wie sie soll und stolpert dann auch zusätzlich noch beim iCloud sync. Aber die Kinderkrankheit ist sicher schnell behoben. ### 3/5 — Hat noch Potential *2022-02-01* Grundsätzlich eine sehr schöne Idee. Leider scheint die Datenbasis der angezeigten Geschäfte/Hotels älter zu sein. Alleine in meiner unmittelbaren Umgebung (Radius 5 km) werden noch Hotels/Pensionen/ Bäckerei angezeigt die schon seit Jahren geschlossen sind. Gewerbebetriebe werden mit dem Icon für Geschäfte angezeigt, für mich ist das etwas verwirrend. Ein angebliches Restaurant entpuppt sich als Privatadresse des Inhabers. Ich sehe da noch viel Potential. Toll sind die Hinweise auf historische Bauten/Museen/Ereignisse usw. Das hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Hier bekommt man über die Verlinkung eine schnelle und informative Übersicht. **Developer response:** Die App nutzt als Datenbasis derzeit Wikipedia und die Karten-Dienste von Apple. Letztere sind für POIs wie Restaurants und Hotels zuständig. Falls dort noch alte Daten geliefert werden, könnte man die an Apple über die "Probleme melden"-Funktion der Apple-Karten-App melden. Erfahrungsgemäß werden diese dann von Apple auch korrigiert. Ich bin aber durchaus noch auf der Suche nach nutzbaren weiteren Datenquellen für die POI-Suche in zukünftigen Versionen der App. ## Frequently asked questions about Wigemo ### What is Wigemo?

So when importing a KML file with multiple folders of places, the App is able to create corresponding folders in its own list of places and put the imported places there. However you can still import all the places into already existing folders. The App asks for the destination when importing KML files, so pick "Create new list" if you want to allow the creation of new folders. - The KML import supports "routes" which are defined through a list of place marks. - The new version does also sync custom POI categories including their icon which were defined while saving/editing places/locations (in case iCloud sync is enabled). - Now, the App also runs on Macs with Apple Silicon processors. Because of a bug within the macOS this did not work before without crashes. ### 1.8 — 2023-01-26 - "Map Overlays" do now support the MapBox maps as well. Which means this feature can be now used with all maps styles and map types without any restrictions. - Under iOS 16 and later it is now also possible to customize the colors/contrast of the Standard Apple Maps to make it more vivid easier to read. Other Map properties, like pitch, traffic etc. can be configured individually for each of the Apple Map styles. - The App can now also calculate routes/directions between two random locations, in the past the start locations was always the current location of the user. - Bugfix: When sharing a contact to the App the Sharesheet of Wigemo did not show the actual coordinates of the address in the preview (though saving the address did work correctly, including the coordinates) - Bugfix: The compass in the dynamic island was slightly too big since iOS 16.2, so the top and bottom border was cut off. ### 1.7 — 2022-10-19 - Since iOS 16.1 the App supports "Live Activities" on the iPhone. The compass which shows the direction and distance to a place or location will be now moved to the dynamic island (iPhone 14 Pro) and the lock screen (all iPhones) when leaving the App while the compass is open. If you don't need this live activities feature, you can also switch it off in the settings of the App. - There are a few new option in the settings to remove items you don't need from the menu for the locations - Bugfix: When syncing routes via iCloud it could happen that these were not immediately updated on the map. ## Apps similar to Wigemo | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Freilichtmuseum Niederrhein](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/freilichtmuseum-niederrhein/id1474345856) | — | Free | Travel | | [Markr - Save places](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/markr-save-places/id6752721249) | — | Free | Travel | | [My Traveler Map](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/my-traveler-map/id6757684071) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Travel | | [London Offline Map](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/london-offline-map/id1466830387) | — | $3.99 | Travel | | [Bologna + Modena Art & Culture](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bologna-plus-modena-art-and-culture/id1086361603) | 5.0 (3) | $5.99 | Travel | | [Legsplorer: City Walking Tours](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/legsplorer-city-walking-tours/id6755970517) | — | Free | Travel | ## More apps by Alexander Clauss - [Kalkulilo (Calculator)](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kalkulilo-calculator/id286091993) - [NewsTap (Usenet Newsreader)](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/newstap-usenet-newsreader/id292410356) - [NewsTap Lite (Usenet Reader)](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/newstap-lite-usenet-reader/id297063247) - [Numeral (Numeral Systems)](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/numeral-numeral-systems/id301316012) - [Turing Machine Simulator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/turing-machine-simulator/id303032123) - [Zeichen](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/zeichen/id305063893) All apps by Alexander Clauss: https://appshunter.io/developer/286091996 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
