About

City Crew

Features

City Crew is a hand-picked guide to Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue, Da Lat, Hai Phong, Ninh Binh and Vung Tau in Vietnam, and Melbourne. No account needed to look around. PLACES Cafés, restaurants, bars and places worth going out of your way for. Our editors check every one before it appears, so the list stays short and stays good. See them as a list or as pins on a map, sort by what is nearest or best rated, and open one for its hours, photos and a map of where it is. The app opens on the city nearest you. COLLECTIONS Lists made by people who actually go: where to take a date, where to bring six friends, which cafés are worth the ride. Browse them, or sign in and make your own. PLANS Pick a day, say whether you are going out in the afternoon or the evening, and say who is coming. You get a short route: places near each other, in an order that gets you to each one while it is open. Edit it, save it, send it to the people coming with you. YOUR CREW Add friends, invite them to a trip, see what they have been saving. Easier than five people pasting links into a group chat. PRIVACY Browsing needs no account. Signing in takes an email address and a password. Your location is used on the phone to pick the nearest city and to sort places by distance. When you set where a plan starts, it goes through our server to Google to name the street — and it is never stored. No ads, no tracking. You can delete your account from inside the app. More cities are on the way.
