WikiTrip is your personal audio guide, powered by Wikipedia. Start moving — walk, drive, or ride — and WikiTrip reads aloud the stories behind the places you pass. No tapping, no reading — just listen and explore.
HOW IT WORKS
Start WikiTrip and go. The app finds the most interesting Wikipedia articles nearby and reads them to you in a natural AI voice. A smart algorithm picks articles based on editorial quality, content length, and proximity.

Was excited to see this app and initially was impressed with all of the information. Reminded me of the Gaper Guide that you can get for Yellowstone National Park. I purchased the paid version in hopes to be able to filter and customize the information to what you find pertinent. For example, historical sites along the route only and perhaps limiting it to every 2-5 minutes instead of every 30 seconds. However, that’s not one of the features. Hoping this will become available in a future edition!

Hi! Thanks for your feedback. You can edit the minimum pause time in between articles in Settings. I will look into filtering by category. Feel free to share more feedback via bjoern.schefzyk@gmail.comCheers, Björn
Totally accessible with VoiceOver, and fun!

It is pretty difficult to find free apps on the Apple App Store these days, let alone really outstanding free apps. There’s a reason this app is receiving such good exposure on the Applevis website, and it’s very well deserved. Thanks are owed to Bjorn, the developer, for giving this app an accessibility rating so that it can be more easily found by those who can most benefit from it. It’s a terrifically unique idea.

Thank you for the kind feedback ❤️I will have to start charging for premium AI voices by OpenAI as those are not free to me. But I will continue offering a free version using iOS's built-in voice.
Nice Start

Needs several more features to be really useful. Like through up all the spots in a certain radius and let the user pick. Good for a densely populated area. Also an option to display the text or link to the article on Wikipedia would be nice for people who prefer to read. Also would be cool to bring in other sources, like WikiTravel. Best of luck!

Good feedback! This is a passion project from a solo developer, unfortunately I don't have the time to make this app very feature rich.
