WhimsyPut your headphones on and go for a walk.
Whimsy is a free iPhone app of audio walks. Whimsy herself is your narrator: she tells you the story of the place you are standing in. It is a guided walking activity, not a tour company.
Coming soon to the App Store
Two ways to walk
Guided
Pick a walk, pick how deep you want to go, and follow the route on the map. Whimsy takes you stop by stop and tells you where to head next.
Explore
No route, no order. A map shows every stop of every walk as a place of its own. Wander up and a short clip of two or three facts plays, or tap a pin to hear one. Know a place Whimsy has never heard of? Tell her from the map.
Find Whimsy through the magic glass
Whimsy is hiding near you, and she moves to a new spot every half hour. Raise your phone, look through the magic glass, and spot her standing in the street. Every one you catch counts towards badges in Game Center.
The magic glass uses your camera and compass, so it needs a real iPhone.
Free. No account.
Open the app and start walking. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to buy.
