Adónde is a travel app for people who go places. Plan the trip, meet the travelers, book the day, all in one place. PLAN TOGETHER Build an itinerary with AI, then make it truly shared. Invite companions before the trip is even generated. Everyone gets a private budget, a shared schedule, and colored busy blocks that hold their time without exposing their plans. Changes to shared plans are proposed, and every member accepts, right in the trip chat or on the plan. Free-slot suggestions respect everyone's calendar. BOOK THE DAY Search and book hotels worldwide, with cancellation and date changes handled in the app. Book flights and tours. Check the deals of the day. Every hotel card tells you the honest truth: how far it really is from the beach, the landmarks, and the neighborhood you searched, with distances measured from the hotel's own city. Filter for what the stay is best for: families, couples, friends, or solo. WATCH PRICES Put a watch on any hotel or flight. Every morning you get one summary, not a flood: a push notification and an email with every watched price, how it moved, and honest advice about whether to book or wait. No watches, no mail. Ever. MEET THE TRAVELERS A feed ranked for you, by your interests and where you are. Post carousels, share trips, comment, react with GIFs, and see travelers on the map. Turn a trip into a montage reel with video and sound, branded and ready for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or Snapchat, or share it straight into an in-app chat as a preview card. SPEAK THE LANGUAGE Translate with interpreter mode for live two-way conversations, regional slang starter phrases, and offline packs for when the signal dies. Use the app in the ten most spoken languages. TALK TO IT A voice assistant that navigates the app, builds trips, translates, and converts currency. Pick the voice you like. Every conversation lands in your chat history. STAY SAFE Share your live location with people you actually know, for an hour, a day, or the whole trip. They see where you are, the address, and directions to you. Your travel documents live in a scanned, organized vault. Sign in with email or your phone number.
