Placecloud vs SGem

Placecloud hosts short podcasts (“viewpoints”) on the places around you. Viewpoints can focus on historic buildings, quirky locations, hidden gems, of the world around you, so that you can discover new places to visit.

SGem is an itinerary planning app which provides a platform for travellers coming to Singapore to easily and efficiently plan their trip. There are many features that help you keep organised throughout the whole planning process. Users can plan multiple locations for each day of the trip, including set times to visit each location. The packing list allows users to add and remove items to it as they please, and has a checklist system to ensure items are not forgotten. A comprehensive list of hidden gems and popular tourist attractions is included in the app, with information such as the address and opening times already provided for easy planning. This app was created by Akshaj Prabhakaran, Tan Yu'En Nicole, Chhin Danin under the 2023 Swift Accelerator Programme.
