Sidekix - A new way to explore hundreds of cities on foot. It's free!

Hey Hunters! We’re happy to introduce you to the newly redesigned Sidekix, now available also on Android (as well as iOS). What is Sidekix, you ask? We’ve been called “waze for walkers” or the lovechild of Yelp and Google maps. At our essence, we are a smart walking and urban discovery app for people who love to explore on foot. We believe that walking is the best way to discover a city and truly understand its local vibe. Most navigation apps offer only the shortest or fastest way. This is fine when you’re in a rush, but less useful when you travel, or have leisure time to explore. To truly enjoy a city, you should enjoy it your way: So we pioneered the concept of experience based routing--offering route choices based on your interests. If you’re in Paris to shop, Sidekix will offer routes with the maximum number of boutiques. If you want the cultural side of Berlin, we include the most landmarks and historical buildings. How do we do this? Well, what we don’t do is overwhelm you with every business or attraction--just the highest rated ones. By curating suggestions, make it easier to have urban adventures on the fly. Sidekix is available in hundreds of cities through-out the US, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Australia, and adding more all the time. We’d love for you to try us! -Jenny, Sidekix Co-founder

Overall a great way to quickly get your bearing in a new place.

Pros:

Very easy to use. Used it in several cities across Europe.

Cons:

Would love to see an offline version.

I used it several times when I travelled abroad and it was better than any other guide

Pros:

Shows you places around you and suggests great walking routes upon your interests

can't think of one

Happy to see the new Sidekix on PH! As a "walker", I love the concept. Great for independent/self-navigated "walking tours" at your own pace. Can't wait to try out the new version. Good luck Jenny & team! 😃👍👟

I loved using it on my last trip to Germany. It's very easy to use, and includes so many options.

Pros:

My best travel friend when I travel!

Cons:

The display needs some ajustments for a samsung screen.

I love this! I already do this manually, so this is a great idea :)

Really good idea, look forward to trying this on my next trip! Do you curate everything yourself? Or are ratings crowdsourced? Also, love the explainer video - design and content is fab!

Looking forward to check it out

Pros:

Looks like a great idea

Cons:

none that i could think of

This is my goto travel and navigation app

Pros:

very intuitive and easy to use

Cons:

offline version could be nice

Nice ! Awesome !

Is this working only in US?

Hey team - great work! Exploring by foot is really the best way to digest the vibe of any city you are in - I read below that ratings are crowdsourced and bloggers generate content - how do I sign up? Would love to add some hidden gems in Orange County! :)

I'm a terrible traveler so this looks like a potential win. On November I'm going to MicroConf at Lisbon, Portugal. Would the app work well there?
