Explore any city on your own terms with guides for transport, money, language, and neighbourhoods. Your essential travel companion companion for all city breaks.
Hello PH community, Max here: long time lurker, first time launcher!
After a year of hard work chipping away between client projects, and a couple of countless late nights, I'm over the moon to finally introduce Waywise: an AI-powered city guide app for iOS.
Waywise started life a year ago (almost to the day) as a city-specific, GPT-powered translation app I built for an upcoming trip to Mexico. However, after browsing the App Store, I realised that there was a gap in the market for a travel app dedicated solely to the essentials of navigating a city.
We deliberately avoid itinerary planning and tour ticket sales, concentrating instead on providing the crucial information that enhances your travel experience and empowers you to explore a city on your own terms. Things such as:
š¬ Transport information: Detailed guides on airports, train and bus stations, and local public transit.
š£ļø Local language: Handy translations, colloquialisms, and a comprehensive phrasebook for all major spoken languages.
š¶ Currency tips: Information on cash, cashless payments, stored value cards, and tipping etiquette.
šŖ§ Neighbourhood insights: Discover the best places to stay, shop, party and explore the sights.
Purchase verified city guides for a lifetime one-off fee, with offline access and free future updates forever, or with our WPass subscription you can unlock all city guides as well as the ability to generate a guide for any city with a population over 100,000.
Waywise is just getting started so any feedback is incredibly appreciated.
I recently went to Oslo and had the chance to use Waywise, and it is a phenomenal travel app. Previously, I reached for Google to translate, convert currency and find good spots to eat and do things ā however having all of this offline and already ready to go before my trip was game-changing. The interface is super fast and intuitive; and it even predownloaded generated speech for common translations so I could get by in Norwegian as soon as I landed. A must have if you're travelling and a bargain at the price it's offered ā you'll easily save that from avoiding tourist traps or hidden costs. Give it a go!
