Happy to see the new Sidekix on PH! As a "walker", I love the concept. Great for independent/self-navigated "walking tours" at your own pace. Can't wait to try out the new version. Good luck Jenny & team! 😃👍👟

I loved using it on my last trip to Germany. It's very easy to use, and includes so many options.

Pros:

My best travel friend when I travel!

Cons:

The display needs some ajustments for a samsung screen.

I love this! I already do this manually, so this is a great idea :)

@paul_nylund Thanks! We create theme-based routes automatically, but you can also personalize by adding or taking off interesting places.

Really good idea, look forward to trying this on my next trip! Do you curate everything yourself? Or are ratings crowdsourced? Also, love the explainer video - design and content is fab!

@marsh931 Thanks for your feedback. Ratings are crowdsourced. We also work with bloggers to be able to show urban gems.

Hey team - great work! Exploring by foot is really the best way to digest the vibe of any city you are in - I read below that ratings are crowdsourced and bloggers generate content - how do I sign up? Would love to add some hidden gems in Orange County! :)

@sidsriramoju Awesome. Thanks so much for your offer to help! At the moment, we get info from bloggers and add them internally. I would be happy for you to send me suggestions/reviews of interesting places through PM, Jenny@getsidekix.com

I'm a terrible traveler so this looks like a potential win. On November I'm going to MicroConf at Lisbon, Portugal. Would the app work well there?

@pupeno Hi, i personally used it in Lisbon and found an awesome restaurant on it (amazing food on a back street I wouldn't have noticed otherwise), so I do think it works well there.

@jenny_drezin awesome! Thank you! I'm looking forward to it.

Nice little app, just gave it a try and already found out about a music venue I didn't know about here where I live and I haven't even left NYC yet. Will have to bring this with me when I fly to conferences, have a few trips coming up. @jenny_drezin are you guys planning to have planned routes for families vs. couples, etc? Segment it by the type of people traveling in a group?
Jenny Drezin
Maker
@dragilev yes, that's a great idea. We haven't so much focused on families/kids until now (but we get it, since we all have kids!). We recently added a guides tab as another way to explore, and started adding places for the "young and young at heart" in some cities (playgrounds, cool spaces for kids to climb on etc.) and we could definitely expand that.
