I wish to plan my next trip for when we in Oz can travel again. I downloaded the App. I so far can see no prompts to allow me to put in information. If this App is only so that you can record you trip then it is useless to me and I shall delete it. **Developer response:** Hi there! It seems there was a misunderstanding about what Wiki Trip does. In my opinion, the App Store description and the intro screen in the app clearly state that it reads out Wikipedia articles about interesting places nearby while driving, cycling or walking. It does not mention anything about trip planning. Therefore, I feel a 1* review is a bit harsh. Best greetings to Down Under from Cali. Stay safe, and I hope this pandemic is over soon. ### 2/5 — Nice Start *2022-07-17* Needs several more features to be really useful. Like through up all the spots in a certain radius and let the user pick. Good for a densely populated area. Also an option to display the text or link to the article on Wikipedia would be nice for people who prefer to read. Also would be cool to bring in other sources, like WikiTravel. Best of luck! **Developer response:** Good feedback! This is a passion project from a solo developer, unfortunately I don't have the time to make this app very feature rich. ### 3/5 — Great concept-room for improvement *2026-03-28* Was excited to see this app and initially was impressed with all of the information. Reminded me of the Gaper Guide that you can get for Yellowstone National Park. I purchased the paid version in hopes to be able to filter and customize the information to what you find pertinent. For example, historical sites along the route only and perhaps limiting it to every 2-5 minutes instead of every 30 seconds. However, that’s not one of the features. Hoping this will become available in a future edition! **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback. You can edit the minimum pause time in between articles in Settings. I will look into filtering by category. Feel free to share more feedback via bjoern.schefzyk@gmail.com Cheers, Björn ### 4/5 — Eigentlich TOP, aber *2023-08-01* Hallo lieber Entwickler, die App scheint wirklich klasse zu sein, aber ich habe eine Frage zur Nutzung und bin nicht bereit mir dafür einen Twitter, bzw. X Account anzulegen. Wie kann ich sie per Mail erreichen, denn ich habe das Problem das meine Musik, welche ich prinzipiell über CarPlay höre, nicht unterdrückt wird, wenn WikiTrip einen Beitrag vorträgt. Somit ist da leider nichts zu verstehen. Generell finde ich die App und die Idee dahinter SPITZE. Wenn Sie mir erklären, wie ich dieses Problem in den Griff bekomme, gibt es sofort 5 Sterne. Ich hoffe, das Sie hier mitlesen und ich somit eine Rückmeldung bekomme. **Developer response:** Hallo! Ich würde mich über eine Email an bjoern.schefzyk@gmail.com freuen (ich werde auch meine Kontaktinfos in der App updaten). Welche Option ist die bessere? 1) Alles andere Audio-Playback wird pausiert 2) Nur gesprochenes Wort (z.B. Podcasts) wird pausiert, mit Musik wird gemischt Viele Grüße, Björn ### 4/5 — Gᴏᴏᴅ *2021-09-13* Gᴏᴏᴅ **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Tolle App *2026-06-29* Eine tolle App! Da ich blind bin, habe ich gerade auf Reisen oft die Situation, dass ich auf der Fahrt zu einem Ausflugsort nichts mit der Fahrtzeit anzufangen weiß. Dank dieser App kann ich meine Umgebung wahrnehmen und neue Eindrücke gewinnen. **Developer response:** Danke für das tolle Feedback! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Totally accessible with VoiceOver, and fun! *2026-02-22* It is pretty difficult to find free apps on the Apple App Store these days, let alone really outstanding free apps. There’s a reason this app is receiving such good exposure on the Applevis website, and it’s very well deserved. Thanks are owed to Bjorn, the developer, for giving this app an accessibility rating so that it can be more easily found by those who can most benefit from it. It’s a terrifically unique idea. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback ❤️ I will have to start charging for premium AI voices by OpenAI as those are not free to me. But I will continue offering a free version using iOS's built-in voice. ### 5/5 — Neuentdeckung für Reisen *2026-02-20* Spannende App, wenn man per Google Maps Audio-Infos zu relevanten Orten haben möchte. Cool auch, um die eigene Ecke besser kennenzulernen. **Developer response:** Dankeschön ❤️ ### 5/5 — Lovett *2026-02-20* Really neat and very informative **Developer response:** Thank you ❤️ ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Merhaba *2025-07-15, version 1.4.4* Bunu tüm özelliklerini koruyarak bir navigasyon uygulamasına dönüştür Emas miyiz hem toplu taşıma hem yürüme hem araba yol tariflerini aldıramaz mıyız bir yapabilir misiniz teşekkür ederim ### 5/5 — Works much better since update *2024-08-26* Good for general info! Wish there was options to click on maps. **Developer response:** Edit: I fixed some bugs with background audio, which might address the issue you encountered. Hi! I am sorry you had a bad experience. There should be plenty Wikipedia articles available for locations in and around Milan, in many languages. Did you perhaps only grant "once" location permissions? That's the only thing I can think of. I should add an error case for that. ### 5/5 — Ich bin erstaunt, über wie prisibel *2022-08-10* Über den (H) Heidschnuckenweg berichtet wurde . Ich selber bin von H-Fischbek bis Celle 223 Km gewandert. Liebe Grüsse v. Horst🚶‍♂️„🐗“ (10.8.22) **Developer response:** Das freut mich! Vielen Dank! ### 5/5 — 👌👌👍👍 *2022-08-01, version 1.4.2* Thx ### 5/5 — Wow *2018-10-26* You are a genius! I love this. I have lived in a very historic town for the past 6 years. I am so curious to see what Wikipedia’s got on this place, my next walk downtown cannot be soon enough! W **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your very nice feedback! If you want to use WikiTrip when running in the background (i.e. when your phone is locked and in your pocket), it needs "Always" location access. In case you only provided "Only When In Use" the first time you opened the app, please open the Settings app, scroll all the way down to WikiTrip and then select Always under Location. Feel free to share more feedback at any time. – Björn, bjoern.schefzyk@gmail.com or @bjoern2000 ### 5/5 — Great Concept! *2018-10-19* Looking forward to taking this on my next road trip. My only regret is I didn’t have this last week on my trip to Montana. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! I hope you have a couple more trips coming soon. WikiTrip is also interesting on your daily commute. Please feel free to share feedback once you used it. –Björn (bjoern.schefzyk@gmail.com) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
