WanderWay is navigation for everyday drives, scenic trips, and walks. It finds covered bridges, overlooks, and historic places along the way, then guides you there on iPhone and CarPlay. No subscription, no ads, no tracking. Built by Derek Boyer, a solo developer in southern Ohio, and inspired by my wife Jordan's wish for an app that reveals the history and beauty along everyday routes. FREE TO TRY, ONE PURCHASE TO KEEP • Every feature is open for 14 days.

With Apple Intelligence, stories are written on your iPhone. • Narrate Without a Route: hear nearby places on any drive, no directions needed. • Scenic Detours: set aside extra minutes and WanderWay picks sights along your way, showing the extra time first.
