I've been using this app for a while now, and really love it. I like walking wherever I go and often want to know what's cool and hipster. I drink good coffee and so want to see if I can explore. I think they also add new cities every week.
Yep, we are now live in London, Paris, New York, Berlin, Amsterdam, New York, and San Fran, with others coming soon
Hi there, I'm Jenny, one of the co-founders of Sidekix. We built the app in order to enhance the experience of walking in a city. Most navigation is fully utilitarian--its gets you there the shortest or fastest way. The idea behind Sidekix is that there are many ways to get to the same point, and often going a different route or a bit out of your way can give you a completely different experience. We have pioneered a concept of "interest based routing": You tell us your interests, and we can give you a route accordingly--with more shopping, or food, or nightlife, assuming its not too far away. We can also route you according to specific kinds you want to see or do along the way. Happy to be featured here and to answer any questions.
This app saved me once in a new area at London. We were at an airbnb and wanted to walk to get some breakfast stuff. It actually worked it was nice fast and somehow better than Google maps. I liked it and it was useful.
Glad to hear it helped you out. It really helps with discovering things spontaneously.
I recently started using this app myself. I love trying different routes based on different preferences... One day I can reach my destination with artsy spots along the way, and other days set it to fashion for some window shopping... It's kind of a like a DIY personal walking tour guide - highly recommended if you're not just looking for the fastest route, and can enjoy a nice pedestrian scenic route 👌👍
Exactly! We offer routing options that highlight art, food, shopping, nightlife, culture, and more.
I'm using Sidekix in London for two weeks now. love it. I found cool places around me that I wouldn't had found without it. I'm a fan.
Exactly. One of our value props is to help you find those "urban gems" you might not otherwise know about
I've been using the app for a while and enjoying it - especially discovering cool, unexpected boutiques even in areas I know
Thanks. We will be adding new information soon around pop-ups, street food, and street markets
cool idea to theme walking ... love how easy it is and the discovery/exploration angle.
thanks!
thank you!
Great app
thank you!
I've known the founders for over a year and they are really building something compelling. And they are good people too.
Great app!!! Love the on-boarding
Thanks. We tried to make it fun. We think that walking is the best way to discover a city, but that most navigation is dull and utilitarian. We wanted to bring that fun discovery element back into the navigation itself
