The Where To? 13.2.6 update is here and comes with a bunch of improvements:
- Support for the navigation apps “Riser” and “MyRoute-app“
- Added shared bike providers rodostobis (Tekirdağ, Turkey) and AlmatyBike (Almaty, Kazakhstan)
- Added shared e-moped providers MUV (Bologna, Italy) and etroty (Pristina, Kosovo)
- Bugfixes and stability improvements
We also improved the “Handoff“ from iPhone to Apple Watch: when you open Where To? on Apple Watch from one of the smaller complications displaying just the Where To? icon, we still open the place last viewed on iPhone, but only if it was viewed in the last minute. Otherwise we just open the start page. This effectively simulates Handoff as you know it – which is usually not available from iPhone to Watch.

The next Where To? update 13.2.5 is there: Favorites and collections can now also be exported in the open KMZ format. “OSMAnd Maps” is supported for directions and new micromobility providers have been added.
We also fixed a few more bugs. Download the Where To? 13.2.5 update.
We’ve got some new content in Where To? 13.2.4: We added gluten-free restaurants and five more micromobility providers across the globe: Link/Superpedestrian (🇦🇹, 🇪🇸, 🇮🇹), Rhein Bike (🇩🇪), KobOO (🇫🇷), Kotobike (🇯🇵) and GO2 (🇸🇦).
Plus, we’ve fixed a few more bugs.

The latest Where To? 13.2 update adds several improvements. You can now share all your favorite places in one go. The receiver can choose to replace or merge the favorites on import.
For directions, we now support the Scenic motorcycle navigation app. And in terms of shared bikes and scooters we added the following providers:
We added the categories “Key Duplication”, “Engineering Services“ (both under Services) and “Special Education”.
Favorite places and collections are now backed up automatically. So no regret if you’ve accidentally deleted a place. Just restore your places and collections from one of the backups. To be safe, you can choose to merge or replace your existing favorites and collections. We also improved the syncing of favorite places and collections via iCloud, beautified the settings screen and fixed several issues.

Imagine you’re having a date night. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could create a calendar event for the restaurant or café where you want to meet? Well, with Where To? 13.1 you can. By popular request, we added an action for the share sheet: “Create event” allows you to add a calendar event for the current place. The suggested time slot is calculated to be within the opening hours. The calendar entry also includes a Where To? link to let you view all the details about the event location.
If you prefer to use the Reminders app, just use Siri: Say
”Remind me about this”
while you’re viewing a place. And Siri creates a reminder that is linked to the Where To? place.

Streets 4.7.2 is available. We fixed some bugs including a visual glitch on iPhone models with Dynamic Island.
We rolled out a major Where To? update featuring expanded widget options. Where To? 13 focuses on user customization through interactive widgets and enhanced navigation capabilities, providing a personalized and interactive experience right from the home and lock screens.

Directions and Micromobility Scene:

Where To? is 15 years old! ? What started as just a launcher for the Maps app quickly evolved into a full-fledged location finder app that lets you find, compare, and organize places, as well as navigate to and interact with them. The last 15 years have been an amazing ride, so I’d like to invite you to a time travel visiting Where To?’s major milestones:
