Beyond Madeira vs Madeira Discovery

We live in Funchal. We walk these levadas on our days off, we know which restaurants are worth the drive, and we built this app so you can plan Madeira the way we would. Open it and you have the island in your pocket. WALK THE LEVADAS Sixteen trails with proper GPX files, real distances and elevation, and an honest read on difficulty. Download a route before you set off, because the signal drops the moment you're under the laurel forest at Caldeirão Verde. GET AROUND WITHOUT THE STRESS Live bus timetables powered by the official Horários do Funchal data, so you'll know whether to wait at the stop or call a taxi. Renting a car instead? Sort it in the app and have it waiting at the airport. TOURS AND ACTIVITIES WORTH YOUR TIME Dolphin and whale watching, canyoning, sunrise at Pico do Arieiro, the east coast by 4x4. Booked through us, run by operators we actually use. EAT WHERE MADEIRANS EAT Restaurant picks across the island, from a poncha bar in Câmara de Lobos to the lunch spot you'd never find on your own. Honest notes, not paid placements. SEE THE WEATHER BEFORE YOU COMMIT Live webcams across the island. Check the cloud sitting on the mountains before you drive an hour up to a viewpoint you can't see. FIND YOUR WAY An interactive map tying it all together — trails, restaurants, viewpoints, beaches — plus a local's itinerary planner to shape your days without overthinking it. Madeira and Porto Santo are two islands with more going on than a week can hold. This app helps you spend that week well. Licensed travel agency, RNAVT 13020. Funchal-based. Made by the team behind Beyond Madeira, with 610+ five-star reviews. Download it before you fly. Plan the good days.

Land anywhere. Know the place in thirty seconds. You step out of the station in a city you've never seen. It's half past eight, you're hungry, and everything around you is a guess. Open DiscoverX. It shows what's actually open right now, how far it is, whether it takes cards, and whether you'll make it before the kitchen closes. No account. No sign-up. It just works, in any country. WHAT'S AROUND YOU, RIGHT NOW Six categories, anywhere on earth: sights, places to stay, restaurants and cafés, beaches, airports and stations, and hiking trails. Results appear the moment they're found — no spinner while photos load. THE ONE QUESTION THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS Tap "Open now" and see everything open around you at this moment, across every category, nearest first. Filter to what's open with outdoor seating, free Wi-Fi, card payment, wheelchair access or vegetarian options. Stop walking to closed doors. KNOW A PLACE BEFORE YOU GO Opening hours with a live open/closed badge. Address, phone, walking time, cuisine, price level. Whether there's Wi-Fi, a restroom, a baby changing table, air conditioning, or a dog-friendly terrace. For notable places, a short description from Wikipedia in your language — so you know what you're looking at, not just where it is. WHAT ELSE IS RIGHT HERE Every place shows what's within a short walk of it. A viewpoint, a café eighty metres away, a trailhead just past it. That's how one pin turns into an afternoon. PLAN THE DAY, NOT JUST THE NEXT STOP Pick the places you want to see, say how many hours you have, and DiscoverX builds a walking route in a sensible order — with arrival times, the walk between each stop, and an honest note about what didn't fit. One tap hands the whole route to Apple Maps. THE MOMENT YOU ARRIVE Weather with pressure and storm warnings. Live exchange rates. Which side of the road they drive on and what to tip. And the two things you always need and can never find: the nearest cash machine and the nearest restroom. FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN AND SIRI A widget showing how many places are open nearby and where the closest cash machine is — on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Or just ask: "Hey Siri, what's open nearby?" BUILT TO WORK WITH NO SIGNAL Favourites live on your device, photos included, so they open in airplane mode. Premium adds whole downloadable cities — land, switch off roaming, and still know where everything is. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO ACCOUNT. DiscoverX has no analytics, no advertising and no third-party trackers. There is no DiscoverX server, so there is nothing for us to collect. Your favourites and downloads never leave your phone. FREE, AND WHAT PREMIUM ADDS Everything above is free: all six categories, place details, opening hours, photos, the map, favourites, city search, Open Now, weather, currency, local tips, widgets and Siri. DiscoverX Premium adds: Offline city packs — download a whole city, use it with no connection Unlimited day plans (free plans hold three stops) A 20 km search radius (free reaches 10 km) Available as a weekly or monthly subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime Access purchase.
