A pictures may be worth a thousand words, but there are also some things that you just have to experience in person—but the Phigital app gives you both.
One of the first options users have when they open the app is a choice to either "discover" or "capture." Choosing the "capture" option will take users on a scavenger hunt-like adventure in real life, which includes activities like Foursquare check-ins, descriptions, pictures or videos that users can watch before progressing to the next location. The app is free to download and you have the option to make your own guided tours, as well as share them publicly or privately.
With guided tours of Athens, Hong Kong and New York, the app is perfect for travelling or even venturing into new parts of your own city when you feel like being taken somewhere new.
