While other navigation apps are focused on getting you there as quick as possible or only taking the scenic route, this walking app takes your interests into account along the way. The Sidekix app is for people who love discovering new places in their city by walking around.
Currently available in Berlin, London, New York and Paris, Sidekix optimizes your route based on aspects such as food, nightlife and shopping. Designed for people on foot, the walking app shows you a different path every time you go out so you can discover hidden gems you might otherwise never find. You can also add something you need on the way, creating your own route as you go along.
