Roam City

Every walk lights up your city. Roam City turns the streets you walk into warm light on your map. Head out, and the blocks you pass start to glow. The more you walk, the more of your city lights up, and the dark parts of the map show you where you haven't been yet. START WITH A MAP THAT ALREADY GLOWS Connect Apple Health and the walks you've already recorded light up your map from day one. They count on your map, not on the leaderboard. You can also take your first walk before you create an account. FIND SOMEWHERE WORTH WALKING TO • Tap a landmark on the map for a short description from Wikipedia and a walking route. • Open Nearby to see places close to you in areas you haven't explored yet. • Get a suggested time for your next walk: dry, in daylight and close to when you usually go out. Tap Remind me and you get a nudge 10 minutes before. A REASON TO GO OUT AGAIN • A weekly goal based on how you really walk, and a new weekly quest every week. • Collect a passport stamp for every new city and country you walk in. • Earn XP and climb the weekly leaderboard, or check the monthly and all-time ranks. • Save the places you want to remember with a photo and a note. • Bright by day, glowing by night: the map follows light and dark mode. ON YOUR WRIST AND WITH SIRI • Apple Watch: start, pause and finish a walk from your wrist while your iPhone records it. Time, miles and new blocks update live, with a gentle tap when new blocks light up. • Siri and Shortcuts: say "Start a walk in Roam City", or ask how much of your city you've lit. PRIVACY • Recording starts when you tap Start walking. Background exploration is optional and stays off until you turn it on. • If you allow tracking when iOS asks, we use the Meta SDK to measure which of our ads brought you to Roam City. If you don't, nothing is sent to Meta and the app works the same. • You can turn usage analytics off any time in Profile > Consent and privacy. In the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland they stay off until you turn them on. • Names on the leaderboard are shortened to a first name and an initial. • Delete your account and its data from inside the app. ROAM CITY PLUS Walking, your glowing map, your first Apple Health import, landmarks, Nearby, passport stamps, the weekly goal and quest, and the leaderboard are free. Roam City Plus is an optional subscription, billed monthly or every 3 months, that adds: • A richer map: heatmap, Memories map, the countries you have visited and your full passport. • Route suggestions and automatic exploration in the background. • Your progress by week, month and year, with streaks. • Ongoing import of walks and workouts from Apple Health. • More places in Nearby, and a choice of 3 walk times a week. Roam City Plus is an auto-renewing subscription. The price and billing period are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it anytime in Settings > your name > Subscriptions. A free Roam City account keeps your map across devices.
