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. TAP THE MAP Curious about a specific place? Tap anywhere on the map to hear about it instantly. 13 AI VOICES Choose from 13 expressive voices powered by OpenAI. 19 LANGUAGES English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Icelandic. YOUR HISTORY Every article you hear is saved with a link to the full Wikipedia page. SET YOUR PACE Adjust the minimum distance and time between articles to match your journey.

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.

Looking forward to taking this on my next road trip. My only regret is I didn’t have this last week on my trip to Montana.

Thanks for your feedback! I hope you have a couple more trips coming soon. WikiTrip is also interesting on your daily commute. Please feel free to share feedback once you used it. –Björn (bjoern.schefzyk@gmail.com)

You are a genius! I love this. I have lived in a very historic town for the past 6 years. I am so curious to see what Wikipedia’s got on this place, my next walk downtown cannot be soon enough!W

Thank you so much for your very nice feedback! If you want to use WikiTrip when running in the background (i.e. when your phone is locked and in your pocket), it needs "Always" location access. In case you only provided "Only When In Use" the first time you opened the app, please open the Settings app, scroll all the way down to WikiTrip and then select Always under Location.Feel free to share more feedback at any time. – Björn, bjoern.schefzyk@gmail.com or @bjoern2000
