My favorite travel-planning app, Triposo, appears to have bitten the dust. Anyone got any favorite travel-planning apps good for learning about cool stuff in an area?
What I really liked about Triposo (and what I’m looking for now) is that, partly because it kind of shamelessly mined WikiVoyage for info, it had a list of good attractions in even the smallest cities and even a lot of mid-sized towns. I also liked how you could easily make a map of the things in a city that you wanted to visit by favoriting them, which would help you plan getting around and figure out which places you had time to get to. A neat bonus that might not be so essential for me going forward is that you could download the guides to individual cities and be able to use them offline in case you wouldn’t have a data plan/signal where you were going.
Some things I didn’t like from other apps I’ve tried that I want to avoid: Only having guides for the world-class cities. Technically having guides for even the small towns, but not having any good points of interest in any of them and trying to sell me on really lame stuff like run-of-the-mill escape rooms or average churches. No/poor descriptions of places.
Right now I’m planning my upcoming trip using WikiVoyage directly but could really use a good app.
