WanderWay Navigation app analytics for November 2

WanderWay is navigation for everyday drives, scenic trips, and walks. It finds covered bridges, overlooks, and historic places along the way, then guides you there on iPhone and CarPlay. No subscription, no ads, no tracking. Built by Derek Boyer, a solo developer in southern Ohio, and inspired by my wife Jordan's wish for an app that reveals the history and beauty along everyday routes. FREE TO TRY, ONE PURCHASE TO KEEP • Every feature is open for 14 days.

STORIES AND DETOURS • Story Mode: hear a short story as you approach a place. With Apple Intelligence, stories are written on your iPhone. • Narrate Without a Route: hear nearby places on any drive, no directions needed. • Scenic Detours: set aside extra minutes and WanderWay picks sights along your way, showing the extra time first. CURATED ROUTES • A scenic loop or a drive to a destination, from 30 minutes to 5 hours • Favor US scenic byways and prefer backroads • Prioritize the places you like, or show only sights you can see from the road KNOW BEFORE YOU GO • Descriptions and photos from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, plus Apple Look Around or Mapillary • United States only: National Park Service hours, fees, and alerts, Recreation.gov, the National Register of Historic Places, and National Weather Service alerts • Opening hours, with a warning if a stop will be closed when you arrive, and EV charger status from Open Charge Map ON THE ROAD • Saved When You Start: WanderWay can download the route as you set off, so sights and descriptions stay with you.
