QVtoGO is an app to guide and entertain tourists with four different modes of operation. All you need to do is scan the appropriate QR code you were provided with or purchase one of our “QVtoGO @home” virtual walks as in-app purchase and enjoy the tours from home. What are the four modes of this app? • QVtoGO city walk. Purchase your QVtoGO printed map at a reselling point, or online at www.qvtogo.com. Use the app for scanning the QR code on the map and put your phone away. Our illustrated route on the map takes you to the fascinating points of interest while the GPS-triggered commentaries – just like professional guides- relate the most engaging facts and anecdotes relating to the city attractions highlighted on the map. • QVtoGO @home. These virtual tours are designed to recreate the experience of a real city walk – from the comfort of your own home. Purchase one of our tours as an in-app purchase and enjoy videos and fascinating commentaries on top city sights – without even having to leave the house! • QVtoGO Live. This solution enables your smartphone to receive your professional tour guide’s live commentary with no time delay! • QVtoGO on your cruise. Traveling by ship doesn’t mean you can’t access informative and entertaining commentaries! We provide our services to numerous cruise companies, so don’t forget to ask your cruise manager if QVtoGO audio commentaries are available, for example, on your European river cruise.

Commutre

Commutre logs your daily commute automatically — detecting each leg of your journey whether you're walking, on the bus, train, ferry or cycling. AUTOMATIC TRIP RECORDING Tap a destination (Home, Work or any saved place) and Commutre starts recording. A geofence around your destination ends the trip the moment you arrive — no need to remember to tap Stop. Or enable Auto-Start: set your commute schedule and Commutre begins recording automatically when you leave home or work during your commute window. MULTI-MODAL AWARENESS Commutre uses your iPhone's motion sensors and GPS to distinguish walking, cycling, vehicle (bus, car, ride-share), train, and ferry — all within a single trip. Each stretch is recorded as a separate leg with its own duration, distance, and speed profile. DETAILED TRIP HISTORY Every trip is a tap away in the History tab: an interactive map of your route, a GPS speed chart, and a breakdown of each leg. Tap a leg to correct a misidentified mode or add a route number. COMMUTE ANALYSIS See patterns across your commute history: average trip time, time by transport mode, duration by day of week, and a trend chart. Use the 7-day, 30-day, 90-day or All-Time picker to focus on the window you care about. WAYPOINTS Stops between legs — a bus interchange, a platform transfer — are captured as numbered waypoints with street-level names. The map pins your path from door to door. COMMUTRE PRO Unlock your full commute history and in-depth analysis with a one-time purchase. Free users see their most recent trips; Pro unlocks everything. PRIVACY FIRST Location data stays on your device. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party servers.
