PlaceFinder

Places you'll actually return to.

Find amazing places near you, save them your way, and travel with friends.

Discover

Map-first discovery.

The map opens where you are. Tap any place to get the essentials without leaving the screen.

  • Live GPS location on the map, with one tap to recenter
  • Tap a place for directions, reviews, call, website, share, or save
  • Full place detail with photos, check-in, and directions
  • Full-screen search with autocomplete that remembers recent searches

Save

Saved or collections — never a mess.

One place lives in one spot. No duplicates to clean up later, and your list is still there when the signal is not.

  • Bookmark a place into Saved, or send it straight to a collection
  • A place lives in Saved or one collection — never both
  • Cloud-synced list with an offline cache
  • Remove from Saved, or swipe to remove from a collection

Collections

Collections you can share.

Group places into something worth sending — a neighbourhood, a weekend, a list of the coffee that actually holds up.

  • Create and edit collections with a name, description, and public or private
  • Cover art comes from the first place's photo
  • Share a collection by link with a rich preview that opens in the app
  • Public collections appear on your profile

Trips

Trips that friends can join.

Build the days, drag the stops, and let everyone see the same plan — even when someone drops off the network.

  • Create trips with stops, days, reordering, and status
  • Trip planner with add-stop and filters
  • Invite friends in-app, from contacts, or with a link
  • Accept or decline invites, with offline cache and pending edits

Reviews & check-ins

Leave something behind for the next person.

Your ratings, notes, and check-ins build the picture of a place — and your own record of it.

Write a review

Rate a place, add a note, attach a photo straight from the map sheet.

See the average

Community ratings and reviews sit right on every place detail.

Check in

Mark that you were there and keep a record of where you have been.

Earn badges

Badges land on your profile as you explore more of the map.

Offline

Maps that work when signal doesn't.

Download the region before you go. The map, your saved places, and your trip stay with you.

  • Download map regions for offline use, with clear download progress
  • Cached saved places and trips while you are offline
  • Push notifications and a weekly local digest
  • In-app notification inbox with an unread count

How it works

Three steps, start to trip.

From the place you just walked past to the weekend you plan together.

  1. Step 1

    Discover

    Open the map, see what is around you, and tap a place for photos, reviews, and directions.

  2. Step 2

    Save & organize

    Bookmark it to Saved or drop it into a collection. Every place has exactly one home.

  3. Step 3

    Plan & share

    Turn your places into a trip, invite friends, and share a collection with one link.

Built for travelers and locals

I used to keep places in three different apps and a notes file. Now there is one map, one saved list, and a trip my friends can actually open.
