Situ tells the story of where you are. Put in your headphones, start walking, and Situ narrates what's around you — the building across the street, the battle fought in the square, the architect behind the bridge, the tree you're standing under. It keeps talking as you move, so you never have to look at your phone. ASK IT ANYTHING: Tap the microphone and ask out loud. "Tell me more about the architect." "What happened here in the 1906 earthquake?" "Skip this — what else is nearby?" Situ listens, answers, and picks up where it left off. SEE WHAT'S AROUND YOU: Switch to the map to see every story near you as a pin. Tap one to hear it now, or pan somewhere else entirely and browse the stories there — a neighbourhood you're thinking of visiting, or a city on the other side of the world. REAL SOURCES, CREDITED: Stories are drawn from Wikipedia, the Historical Marker Database and podcast archives, then narrated aloud. Every story shows where it came from, with a link to the original. BUILT FOR WALKING: Playback keeps going with the screen off, and full controls live on your lock screen and in your car. Choose a male or female narrator and your language. ANONYMOUS BY DEFAULT: Situ knows where you are, so it doesn't need to know who you are. There's no sign-up — just tap Start. You can link an Apple or Google account later if you want your subscription on the web or a new phone. SHARE A STORY: Heard something good? Send it to someone as a link they can listen to in their browser. SUBSCRIPTION: Every new device gets 24 hours free. After that, buy a single day or subscribe by the month or year.
