### 5/5 — Really cool app

*2018-04-15, version 1.0.0*

I love the AR feature! :)

Something I would like - please let us choose the default Wikipedia language.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Idea and use of AR

*2018-04-14*

Saw this talked about on Reddit and thought I'd give it a shot. Glad I did. The idea behind it is genius and it's a fantastic use of AR...and a lot of fun.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2019-03-08*

It won’t even open!

### 1/5 — Das Update ist schlecht

*2018-12-29, version 1.0.8*

Das Update ist schlecht

### 1/5 — Meaningless photos and essentially advertising

*2018-07-24*

I’m sure there must be useful information for some areas but I’m in longyearbyen which is remote and has a very interesting history. All the app is giving me is poor photography and essentially ads for places. Really a picture of two beer cans that’s an ad nothing else!!!  Should be a useful app needs to be cleaned up of junk

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-02-27*

Wish I had this when I was touring Asia last year!

### 5/5 — Development

*2025-04-30*

Translate

### 5/5 — You Can Learn a Lot

*2023-12-16*

The concept of this app is very simple, but brilliant. ‘Walk’ the map of any locale you wish and wiki articles will appear for specific sites as available. Houses, businesses, historic landmarks, parks…it’s a fascinating ‘mixed bag’. 

I tested this app out out via walking my current city of residence and I learned more about my city in 30 minutes than I did just living here! 

Well worth a (free!) download and explore. Enjoy!

### 5/5 — trucoman

### 5/5 — Who Knew - I’m Surrounded with Wikipedia Articles!

*2022-10-11*

What a great way to learn about the places around you, at home or when traveling!

### 5/5 — Incredible!

*2018-07-21, version 1.0.6*

So useful when traveling to a new place. Easy to find some very interesting places

### 5/5 — Never used anything like before

*2018-07-16, version 1.0.5*

I was shocked how useful and technologically forward software has become.  Fantastic

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-04-24, version 1.0.2*

This app is great! With the weather getting nicer, it’s fun getting out on my bike and pulling the app out when I’m in a new area. There’s so much stuff to read about that I never knew about.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2018-04-21, version 1.0.1*

Clever and useful!! Love using this!!

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2018-04-19, version 1.0.1*

Perfect app to discover random things around you. Learned so much about things around my local area but have also used it when I was away on vacation to find landmarks etc.
