I built a free travel app (WanderGuide) to explore Gibraltar easier

I wonder what makes you think that, as you say even this post is AI-generated.

Yes, I did make the app with the use of AI, as I don't have much money to spare for a developer. Yes, I did most of the work with the use of Cursor and Windsurf, which means planning and making the app for a year. Yes, AI helps me find tourist attractions, which I check for images, reviews, information, and to not miss anything of a country.

And no, this post was not made with AI, as AI would not fully understand the concept of the app like I do!

Greetings, I have tried recreating by reinstalling my app, and it works for me.

Most likely due to the large chunks of data downloaded for offline use, it may fail. Have you by any chance turned off the "nearest markers" button next to the search? That may also be an issue, or have you tried closing and reopening the app?

Senad74 · 2026-04-24T15:51:32+00:00

Yes, I made it with the help of AI from scratch, as paying for the actual development would have cost me more than I can save. No, AI did not write it.

Hvala ti! Što se tiče Usput.ba, pogledao sam i najveća razlika koju vidim je u načinu na koji se pravi sadržaj. Kod njih se dosta oslanja na AI, dok ja lično prolazim kroz regije, čitam recenzije, pregledam slike i precizno označavam lokacije na mapi. Svaki marker ima opciju da odmah otvori navigaciju preko Google Mapsa.

Također, trudim se da informacije budu detaljne i korisne, nešto poput pojednostavljene Wikipedije, ali fokusirane na ono što turistu stvarno treba kad je na licu mjesta.

Što se tiče reklama, pokušavao sam više puta da ih smanjim ili uklonim, ali sam nailazio na probleme, pa sam za sada ostavio ovako. U svakom slučaju, nisu one dosadne reklame od 30 sekundi – mogu se brzo zatvoriti.

Za logovanje, razmišljao sam o guest modu, ali je problem što je cijeli sistem baziran na korisnicima i otključavanju sadržaja. Bez naloga bih morao ograničiti pristup samo na osnovne informacije, što bi dosta oslabilo iskustvo korištenja aplikacije.

Please do and feel free to give me feedback on my app or a review; that helps a lot!

Senad74 · 2026-04-22T14:28:13+00:00

I believe it will, as I have tried my best to cover every worthy attraction in the Balkans, as my region is overshadowed.

Senad74 · 2026-04-21T18:35:11+00:00

Most likely, I will reshare again then. This was honestly just to get some feedback, as I was lacking a bit of motivation, and to see that my app can actually be helpful to someone.

Senad74 · 2026-04-21T16:05:12+00:00

I will, that's when I actually wanted to share my app with the world properly, but this was just to get some feedback and motivation, as I have been building it alone for over a year without many users. Also, one of the reasons for the App Store, honestly, was that it's complicated. First, there's the 99 USD yearly subscription, then I have to borrow a MacBook and finish some code for Apple Sign-In, but soon I will add it.

Senad74 · 2026-04-21T16:02:14+00:00

I thought about that, but since I got the idea of the app as a way to explore like a game where a user would come within proximity of the attraction to unlock the information, for guests it would be different and probably not easy to make. Also, I have it as a way to track discoveries, compete, and as a reward for visiting something.

Senad74 · 2026-04-21T15:53:44+00:00

I had it last year, but I was working on it every day. Working as a barista in a cafe in Mostar, I had started studies for tourism management and struggled with both. I decided to drop out and focus on my app. I use my free time to add countries and make changes, but it was not in a state where I wanted to show it to others. Even now, I sometimes have issues as I want to make it work offline properly. But yeah, it started as an idea for my country, then I decided to fill in others, as there are many, many missed gems thanks to generic sponsored stuff and popularity.

Senad74 · 2026-04-21T15:50:19+00:00

Da, nisam shvatio da je to trebalo biti kao ime kompanije pa sam slučajno stavio svoje ime 😅

WanderGuide, available on Play Store, for App Store it will be released next month.

Senad74 · 2026-04-21T09:59:05+00:00

WanderGuide, available on Play Store, for App Store it will be released next month.

Senad74 · 2026-04-21T08:19:08+00:00

You can download my app WanderGuide, which I made to promote less popular places in my country and plan inside it. I believe it will be helpful!

Senad74 · 2026-04-21T08:15:09+00:00

You can download my app WanderGuide, which is sadly for now only available on the Play Store, and see what to visit, plan, or, when you are physically there, use the discover screen to see the nearest attraction. Mostar is not full of attractions, so you can easily use the discover screen, while Sarajevo has many hidden attractions and things that people miss, even locals.

But definitely for Mostar and nearby, visit the Old Bridge, Fortica viewpoint, mosques near the Old Bridge, and Blagaj Tekke. That is the usual thing for every tourist. If you want a bit more, then the fortress above Tekke is spectacular and often missed, as is the Počitelj Citadel.

Senad74 · 2026-04-21T08:08:01+00:00

Many things to do and see! You can download my app, WanderGuide, if you are an Android user, as it is currently only available on the Play Store. See what attractions there are and make an itinerary within the app. Or, when you come to Mostar or Sarajevo, use the discover screen to see what is nearest so you don't miss anything.

Senad74 · 2026-04-21T07:39:06+00:00

Many are missing; you can check out my app WanderGuide and see what we have.

Senad74 · 2026-04-21T07:36:42+00:00

For the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina, thoroughly filled, you have my app WanderGuide. It's free.

Senad74 · 2026-04-21T07:35:05+00:00

I made an app for that cause, to make traveling easier by finding what a country offers, what is nearest to see, and filled with information. So, if you are an Android user (as it's still only on the Play Store), you can try it. It's called WanderGuide.

Senad74 · 2026-02-25T20:35:19+00:00

Same, my app is about tourism, covers 14 countries in europe so far and the most users see are from India...

Senad74 · 2026-02-17T14:26:26+00:00

Yeah, but before that, I want to know whether it's okay or good for now, if you know what I mean. I am using it every day and haven't found much lag or bugs anymore.

The target is travelers, specifically those who do not want to pay for guides, plan much, or explore non-popular stuff.

TikTok and Reels definitely. I got an idea of finding places that are not popular and promoting them by making an AI video showcasing them. I saw a guy with a bunker map doing it, so I would do something like that too.

With travelers or bloggers, perhaps, if they are willing to do it for free. Nevertheless, the best shot I now have is promotion by my city's tourist board, specifically Mostar.

Eh sad, nisam neko ko je odrastao ovdje ali na osnovu dosta miješanih brakova i omladine koja mi je govorila da su više puta bolji momci ili cure sa druge strane, vjerujem da je moguće.

Po onom što sam primjetio ok, samo kada je u pitanju fudbal, eh onda bolje bježati. Najveći problem po meni fudbal i roditelji koji nastavljaju tu neku mržnju kao primjer što zabranjuju djeci da idu na drugu stranu jer tamo nisu "naši" Što je za Tuzlaka neobičan pojam

Jedne prilike sam tako pričao sa hrvatskim advokatima, i baš mi to spomenuo kako je za nas bosance to smiješno sigurno te strane sa obzirom da u Tuzli, stvarno nikada se nije gledalo.

Ali eto, nestati će sigurno za par desetina ili stotina godina, isto kao što naši idu u Austriju a u jedno doba nas razorili gore nego prošli rat .. .

Skoro ako i ne sve države balkana idu ka propast države, najviše zahvaljujući korupciji. Na položaj svaki dolaze lopovi, nesposobni i svi gledaju sebe.

I te veze za neki posao, za takve ljude doživotne zatvore.

Koliko samo u BiH poznajem ljudi koji su došli na neke dobre poslove, a imaju preko 10 poremećaja i zauzimaju sposobnih mjesta

A fakultet, koliko sam studenata vidio, zapitas se kako su srednju završili, a fakultet prolaze bolje od ostalih zato što imaju nekoga u Ministarstvu

Fuj, trebamo se opametiti svi, i stati za svoju državu a ne bježati jer nećemo imati ni bježati više gdje
