Over There
Read full descriptionHide full description
Over There is a travel app like no other. Using Augmented Reality you can easily find your destination! Even better is that it works without an internet connection. All the needed data is hard coded. When you're traveling in a foreign country you don't need to buy a sim or a new phone. Over There works everywhere! Sights and historical monuments don't change. So why would you need an active connection to find them or their information? I already hard coded the location for the top sights in the cities. The location and brief info is shown on the map view. The More Info page not only has expanded information, but also open hours, a place to write your own notes which will show there, a link to their website and a Photo Detail to examine the image more closely. I've also hard coded Food, Cafes and Bars that I liked on the way to the city's sights. Why pay $100 dollars for a meal when a good less expensive one can be found just next door? I chose good ones that are on the route and near where the sights are so you can easily grab some food or a bit of caffeine on the way. If you don't like the ones that are chosen you can always add more in the Custom tab. Just long press and it will add it to the map until you delete it. If you happen to have a connection you can use the search feature to add them as well. Add and delete as many as you like. There's no limit. You can view the locations in the Map or in a List. If you choose a location you can get directions to it, either walking or driving. You can mark any location as a Priority, and it will have a brighter cyan color to be easier to find, or mark it as Visited and it will become translucent on the map and in AR. Choose a category and Augmented Reality will show you it's annotations in real time in the camera overlay. Narrow it down by choosing a different category and it will only show those instead. Or choose to show only one to easily identify it in the camera AR view. Cities covered are: Bangkok Barcelona Buenos Aires Chicago Dubai Hong Kong Istanbul Kuala Lumpur Lima London Madrid Miami Miami Beach Montevideo New York Paris Rio de Janeiro Rome San Francisco Santiago Seoul Singapore Stockholm Tampa Tokyo With many more to come!
AIGuide Tours

aiGuide turns your phone into a personal audio tour guide. Walk through a city and the app finds historical landmarks, monuments, churches and museums near you. As you approach a site, aiGuide generates a short, engaging story about it and reads it aloud. HOW IT WORKS Open the Tour tab and tap Begin walking tour. aiGuide uses your location to find points of interest nearby. As you walk within range of a site, the app generates a narration with AI (Claude by Anthropic) and reads it in a natural voice. Put your phone in your pocket: while a tour is running, the guide keeps listening for sites and narrating with the screen locked. CURATED CITIES Hand-curated sites and walking routes for Cluj-Napoca and Zakynthos (included in the app, work offline) plus Berlin, Bucharest, London, Paris and Rome. Everywhere else, aiGuide builds tours from OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia. FEATURES • Location-triggered narration — stories start as you approach landmarks • Pick a curated walking route and the guide follows it, stop by stop • Pause, resume or skip a story from the lock screen or your AirPods • AI-generated stories — every narration is freshly written, not a static recording • Natural text-to-speech powered by Amazon Polly • Stories in your phone's language: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Japanese, Korean or Chinese • Browse nearby and curated cities before you go • Save your favourite places and walks • Report any narration that seems inaccurate or inappropriate with one tap • No account required — open the app and start walking • No ads and no tracking PERFECT FOR • Travelers exploring a new city on foot • History enthusiasts who want context at every corner • Casual walkers discovering their own neighborhood's hidden stories • Anyone who prefers a self-paced tour over a scheduled group FREE TO TRY aiGuide is free to download and includes 10 AI narrations every month.
