Taiwan HowRU is an offline-friendly companion for traveling and learning in Taiwan.
TRAVEL WITH CONFIDENCE
• Follow a first-arrival checklist for entry, connectivity, payments and transport.
• Open official MRT, rail, taxi, EasyCard and emergency resources when you are online.
• Keep essential practical guidance available when connectivity is limited.
SHOW CLEAR TRANSLATION CARDS
Type what you want to say in English and display the Traditional Chinese translation in extra-large text for someone nearby to read. Play the Chinese aloud or copy it when needed. Photo Translate recognizes Chinese text and objects with Apple's on-device technologies.
LEARN THE LANGUAGE YOU WILL USE
Practice Mandarin, Taiwanese and Hakka with audio-first flash cards, pronunciation, pinyin or romanization, English meaning and practical examples. Swipe up for the next card, use Auto Play, follow focused courses, save favorites and build learning points. Taiwan slang lessons include clear cultural and usage guidance.
WEATHER FOR YOUR CHOSEN AREA
See a compact Central Weather Administration forecast on Home. Zhubei, Hsinchu County is the default; you can choose another Taiwan area in Settings. The app does not request your GPS location.
OPTIONAL ON-DEVICE AI
Download an optional Qwen visual-language model for local photo explanations. Core travel, translation and learning features work without the model.
NO ACCOUNT OR SUBSCRIPTION
Taiwan HowRU requires no sign-in, contains no in-app purchases and keeps learning progress on your device.
Travel details and AI translations can change or be imperfect. Confirm official schedules, names, addresses, medical details and other critical information before relying on them.
