WIP - World in Pocket

Walk, and the guide speaks. World in Pocket (WIP) is the audio guide you never have to operate. Put the phone in your pocket: when you get close to a monument, a church, a museum or a viewpoint, the app notices and starts telling the story of that exact place — with the screen off and the app closed. AUDIO GUIDES THAT START BY THEMSELVES • Turn on the guide with one tap: a radar finds the places around you. • A voice announces each place as you approach; the full audio guide starts at the entrance. • On foot it uses the real entrance and the footprint of the building; by car, the road you are arriving from. • Real stories, real sources: every text is built from Wikipedia, Wikidata and cultural heritage registers for that specific place, and read by natural voices in seven languages. Ask for more, and the guide goes deeper. • What you unlock stays yours: listen again whenever you like. PERFECT ITINERARIES • A day plan for any city, built around the time you have, how you move and what you like — with real places, opening hours and lunch stops. • Ready-made itineraries city by city, printable as a PDF guide to take with you. • Send a day to the map as a walking tour, or open it in Google Maps if you drive. TEN STOPS: YOUR OWN WALKING TOUR • Pick the places you like; the app orders them on the shortest walking route, as a loop or one-way. • Turn-by-turn walking navigation, spoken and on screen, with a live dashboard on the lock screen while you walk. • Coffee and lunch stops are part of the route; the guide tells a story only where there is one. VISION: POINT AND DISCOVER • Frame a monument, a façade, a statue: the app recognises it and tells you what it is. • Inside museums, the camera guides you from work to work. EVENTS, EXHIBITIONS AND EXPERIENCES • Concerts, festivals, fairs and shows happening near you or in the city you are visiting, day by day. • Exhibitions: current, upcoming and permanent collections, with venue and opening hours. • Skip-the-line tickets, guided tours and experiences with a direct purchase link, from museums to boat trips. • Add anything to your calendar with one tap. WORLDWIDE, ALSO OFFLINE • Millions of points of interest in 196 countries: monuments, museums, churches, castles, archaeological sites, villages, peaks, beaches, waterfalls, caves, parks, wineries and wine routes, protected designations of origin, commemorative plaques, film locations, thermal baths. • Download an area before you leave: map, texts and audio stay on the phone. Underground, in the mountains or abroad without data, the guide keeps talking. MAP LAYERS AND MORE • Trails and long-distance paths, cycle routes, snow, bathing water, drinking fountains, benches, sun and sea conditions; filters by category and gems worth a detour. • Weather along the route, trip health stats, the CO₂ of your journey; share your tours and travel stories. SEVEN LANGUAGES Italian, English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Chinese — interface, texts and voices. PRICING, CLEARLY The app is free to download, with a preview of every tour and a teaser for every place at no cost. Full audio guides and the walking navigator use credits or a Day Pass (24 hours, hands-free). No subscription required. ABOUT PERMISSIONS Background location has one purpose: noticing that you have arrived at a place while the phone is in your pocket. It is never used for advertising and never shared with anyone. wip.guide · support@wip.guide
