Hewell is a virtual tour guide that finds interesting things around you whether you're in a new city or your home town. Use Hewell on the road during a vacation or in your neighborhood. Get to know your area's history and discover new and awesome places. - Vote on nearby places to help others find the best spots. - Get alerts when interesting things are nearby - Listen to audio narrations of what's around you - Learn about the history and character of the world around you - Earn achievements for discovering and rating new locations! Whether you're a curious traveller or teaching kids, Hewell has something to offer. Hewell also makes learning history fun! Earn bespoke achievements you vote on and recommend places you've visited. And since Hewell is powered by Wikipedia, there's always something interesting to learn at every location. Powerful --------- Hewell is powered by WikiData and Wikipedia. Their work makes all of this possible. Hewell leverages the awesome power of WikiData and Wikipedia to provide you insights into the world around you. Private ------- Hewell respects your privacy. I only use the data I absolutely need and nothing is stored or transmitted except to Apple (i.e. votes and crash reports) or Wikipedia (for fetching places). It's all too common these days for apps to track user behavior and sell that data to advertisers. Hewell doesn't do that. No behavioral data is collected and no data is ever sold or given to another party. Your data is yours. Indie ----- Hewell is handcrafted in San Diego by one person, me. There's no shady venture capital, no stock trading, no short-term strategy. I build Hewell so that you can use it. If you like what you see, please consider tipping in the app.

I don’t know why this app isn’t more popular, it works great for me here and I’m definitely going to use it in my upcoming travels. Well done!

Needs a bigger search radius

In western US, very little comes up within the maximum 9.x mile search radius. The max should be at least 100 miles, perhaps 500 miles. Also, is it possible to pick a place and explore near said place?Nicely done otherwise.
