WanderWay finds covered bridges, scenic overlooks, and historic sites along your drive, then guides you there on iPhone and CarPlay. Hear stories about the places you pass, add a stop or a scenic detour, and keep a journal of your drives. No subscription, no ads, and no tracking. Built by Derek Boyer, a solo developer in Southern Ohio. WanderWay was inspired by my wife Jordan's wish for an app that reveals the history and beauty along everyday routes. Choose a destination, build a multi-stop route, or generate a Sunday Drive, then follow spoken turn-by-turn directions. Add a stop anytime without ending your drive. FREE TO TRY, ONE PURCHASE TO KEEP • Free to download, with every feature open for a 14-day free trial.
