I built WikiRadius because Wikipedia is amazing when you know what to look up, but useless when you're standing in front of a building you don't recognize or walking through a neighborhood you've never explored. WikiRadius flips that. Open the app and you get a list of geo-tagged Wikipedia articles for places near you, sorted by distance, with thumbnails and short descriptions. Tap to read, bookmark for later, or get walking/transit/driving directions. There's a real Apple Watch companion too — not just a complication — so you can browse from your wrist mid-walk. Premium is a one-time $1.99 and lets you drop a pin anywhere in the world, which I use to scout neighborhoods before trips. The app supports 15 languages, syncs your saved entries via iCloud between iPhone and Apple Watch, and collects zero user data. Yes, I know that the Wikipedia app itself has geotagged location finding as well. But I find it useful to have this separate app - and the watch functionality is an added bonus. Would love feedback — thanks for checking it out!
