K-Trip Spot is a location-based travel app for people exploring Korea. ■ Discover places by swiping Swipe through cards of tourist spots. When you don't know what to search for, just keep swiping and you'll find somewhere you want to go. Tap the heart on a card to save it. Swiping and saving are separate actions, so nothing gets saved by accident while you browse. Saved places are collected in your Likes, ready to revisit when you plan your trip. You can search within your Likes too. ■ Find spots near you See tourist spots near your current location in the home list and on the map. Filter by category such as attractions, restaurants, shopping, and cultural venues, sorted by distance, so you can quickly find somewhere to go right now. The search radius can be adjusted in Settings. You can also search by name or check the popular places on the home screen. ■ Crowd levels at major Seoul spots Using Seoul public data, the app shows crowd levels at 121 major locations across the city, including tourist zones, palaces and heritage sites, and busy commercial districts. Check whether Myeongdong is packed or Gyeongbokgung is quiet before you head out. Avoiding peak hours makes the same place far more enjoyable. ※ Crowd levels are available in Seoul only. The source data arrives with a delay of about 30 minutes, so the reference time is shown on screen. ■ Festivals and events happening now See festivals near you gathered on the home screen, and view cultural events alongside tourist spots on the map. Few things beat stumbling upon a festival while traveling. ■ A map of Korea that fills itself in from your photos This is our most special feature. The app reads the location where each photo in your library was taken anddistricts you've visited on a map of Korea. Your past trips become a mapwithout any manual logging. "Where in Korea have I actually been?" Find out. Photos and location data are processed only on your device. Photos are never sent to the server; only the identified region codes are stored. ■ Share your travel map Share your completed travel map as a link. Anyone who opens it can sign in to see how many regions they have in common with you. ■ Stories from travelers Community — Share travel photos and reviews, and browse other travelers' records. Spot Q&A — Ask questions about a specific place and get answers from people who have been there. Things like whether parking is easy or how long the wait is. Messages — Chat directly with travelers you click with. ■ Supported languages 한국어 · English · 日本語 · 繁體中文 You choose a language on first launch and can change it anytime in Settings. ■ Permissions · Location (optional) Used to show nearby spots and crowd levels. Checked only while you're using the app; your location is never tracked in the background. Without it, you can still use mostfeatures including the community, your Likes, the national map, and search. · Photos (optional) Used to fill in the national map and to attach photos to posts. Photos used for the map never leave your device. · Notifications (optional) Used to notify you of answers to your questions and new messages.

Verdict
