Just go there – your iPhone unlocks the sight automatically, even while it stays in your pocket. Every place becomes a collectible card with two facts on the back. Every city has its own coin – and you plan your next walk right on the map.
From the Römer to Kaminarimon: every sight has its own hand-picked artwork. Flip the card – on the back are two things you probably didn't know about the place.
Tip: tap a card to flip itWandelo runs quietly in the background. You explore the city – the app takes care of the collecting.
Stroll through the old town, head to the museum, stand in front of the cathedral. You don't need to open the app – your phone stays in your pocket.
As soon as you're really there, the card lands in your collection – with a short notification, even when the app is closed.
The more of a city's places you collect, the finer its coin – from bronze to platinum.
The map shows you what you're still missing. Turn it into a route in a few taps – with walking times, the shortest order and a hand-off to Google Maps.
Every coin bears its city's landmark – in 3D in the app, ready to spin. Its tier depends on how much of the city you've already seen – and the city's cards get a frame in the same metal.

The home screen shows how many cards you need for the next coin – and which open place is closest to you.
Once a week, an idea for the weekend – matched to the cards you're still missing. You can switch it off.
Every Thursday a gift is waiting: new enamel colours for your coins – common, rare or legendary.
Besides the coins there are badges, for example for your first steps. Your three favourite trophies go in your showcase.
New iPhone? A transfer code takes your whole collection with you – no account needed.
All places, facts and texts come in both languages – handy for friends visiting from abroad, too.
An app that knows where you are has to be especially careful. That's why everything in Wandelo happens on your iPhone – we can't see where you've been.
Your iPhone itself checks whether you've been to a place. Your location is never sent to us – your visits only if you create a transfer code yourself.
Precise location only starts when you're near a sight. That saves battery.
No sign-up, no tracking, no selling of data. Your collection lives on your device.
Your first three cities are free – whichever ones they are. If you want to keep collecting after that, a one-off purchase unlocks everything and supports further development. And collecting never stops: cards from other cities are kept sealed and appear with their real date once you've bought the full version.
Your iPhone gives a signal as soon as you come near a sight. Wandelo then takes a quick, precise look – the card is only unlocked once you're really there (within about 50 metres).
No, if you allow location access “Always”. It also works with “While Using the App” – then just open the app briefly when you're there.
No. Wandelo uses the power-saving region monitoring built into iOS and only switches on precise location near a sight – for a few minutes at most.
Nobody but you. Your location and visits stay on your phone, and there are no accounts. Only if you create a transfer code is a copy of your collection kept on our server for up to 24 hours – it's deleted once the code is redeemed or expires. More in our privacy policy.
The first three cities you collect in are free. For all the others there's a full version as a one-off purchase – no subscription.
Not yet. We're starting with the iPhone; the Android version will follow later.
Right now there are 12 cities in Germany, Poland and Japan plus 23 castles, and we keep adding more. Write to us at info@baumwollpyjama.de if there's one you'd like.
No. Create a transfer code in the app and enter it on your new device. The code is valid for 24 hours and works once; after that we delete the copy of your collection.
We research every place ourselves and write the texts in our own words. The artwork on the cards is designed especially for Wandelo.
Wandelo is coming to the App Store soon. Then you'll see which places you've already got in your pocket.
