Inquire by Tamper (formerly Curiosity by Tamper) turns Wikipedia into a guide to the world around you. Discover what’s nearby, see what people are reading now, and explore hand-picked topics that change with your location, the date, and the places you care about.
• With Nearby, find articles about landmarks, museums, parks, architecture, public art, historic sites, transit, neighborhoods, and more around your current location. Search any place in the world and explore it before you arrive.
• Filters make Nearby easier to browse, letting you focus on the kinds of places you want to discover.
• Widgets keep nearby discoveries close at hand on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Smart Stack.
• On Apple Watch, browse nearby articles from your wrist, then continue reading on iPhone with Handoff.
• Popular shows what the world is reading on Wikipedia today or this month, surfacing timely articles when they’re most relevant.
• Explore brings together curated collections powered by Wikipedia and Wikidata, including film locations, world heritage sites, local history, natural wonders, famous inventors, architecture, art, and other rotating categories.
Save articles with bookmarks, revisit your history, share finds with friends, and read in an experience designed specifically for iOS.
Whether you’re traveling, walking through your neighborhood, or just looking for something interesting to read, Inquire helps you learn more about the places, people, and stories around you.
“What’s that building?” “Which movie do I recognize this street from?” “Is there anything interesting to see around here?” By pulling in relevant nearby information from Wikipedia, Inquire can answer all sorts of questions. Whether you’re on vacation, have a spare half-hour while visiting an unfamiliar city, or just want to discover new things in your hometown, Inquire is the perfect pocket companion for curious minds.

Super awesome app

Just got the app and wow it's super clean and awesome. I love the "around me" feature as I am a bit of a history buff and to discover things about your own neighbourhood that you didn't know about or how to look for is fun. Great job developers. Worth the price.
I love this app!
