Land in a city. Have a plan in thirty seconds. Tell Roam where you are, how many hours you have, what you are in the mood for and what you want to spend. It builds your day - real local spots, in order, with times, costs and the route on a map. EVERY STOP IS CHECKED, NOT GUESSED Roam verifies each place actually exists, is inside your city, and is open at the hour you will show up. Closed Mondays? You will never be sent there on a Monday. Rain all evening? Your plan moves indoors - and tells you why. DON'T LIKE A STOP? SWAP IT One tap brings a fresh option that fits your budget and your route. Remove stops, stretch the day from two hours to a full weekend, plan for tonight or for a city you land in next month. THE PART NOBODY ELSE HAS: GO WITH PEOPLE Make your plan public and travelers nearby can ask to join you for a stop - dinner, a brewery, a museum. You see who is asking, with their Instagram, and you decide. Approve someone and a chat opens to sort out the details. Meet at the venue. That's it. BUILT FOR TRUST Joining requires a linked Instagram, so you always see a real face and a real account before saying yes. Report and block work everywhere. Nothing about you is shown until you choose to publish a plan. COLLECT YOUR CITIES Every city you plan earns a passport stamp. Publish your best day as a Guide so anyone visiting can copy it. ROAM PRO Plans are $9.99 a month or $39.99 a year, unlimited, in any city. Travelling once? The Trip Pass is 30 days. Roam Pro is the whole app: the planner, Discover, the chats, your passport. One subscription, everything in it. Terms of Use: https://ruddmedia.github.io/roam-legal/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://ruddmedia.github.io/roam-legal/privacy.html
