Wherever you're going, or wherever you already live, Varedelo gives you a map of the places worth going, researched live in front of you. Tap any place to see why it was picked and the sources behind it. No list to take on faith. No 40 open tabs. ANY PLACE ON THE MAP Pick a city, or drop a pin on the neighbourhood, island or small town you're actually headed to. Varedelo reads what's being written and filmed about it right now, cross-checks it, and keeps what holds up. Every place is checked against real place data, so where little has been written, your map is shorter, never padded. EVERY PLACE SHOWS ITS SOURCES Open any spot for the reason it's on your map and where that came from. Each map keeps a receipt: what was searched, which sources were checked, and what was found. TRAVEL VIDEOS BECOME MAPS Paste a YouTube travel video and every place in it lands on your map. No more pausing to catch a restaurant name. Follow the creators you trust, and their new videos arrive already mapped. WHEN YOU'RE THERE Green is still to try, yellow is been there, red is can't miss. Tap the location button and the closest green is your next stop. The city's must-try dishes are there too, ready to check off as you eat them. MADE FOR THE WAY YOU EAT Vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher, keto. Set it once and every food spot on your map already fits. No menu-checking at the door. YOU CHOOSE THE SHAPE Food only, or food and museums. Famous or hidden. A shortlist of 10 or the full 35. One neighbourhood, or the whole city. SHARE IT Send your map to whoever you're travelling with. They open it for free, greens and yellows included. ONE PAYMENT, YOURS TO KEEP Buy a destination once and keep it: no subscription, nothing expires. Want fresh research later? A Build runs a new search on any destination you own and adds only spots you don't already have, or maps a creator video. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/
