Wander App for iPhone Review
Wander app for iPhone provides a gateway to explore the world and enjoy new cultural experiences from your iPhone. Each week, you can explore a new part of the globe with a new friend acting as your virtual tour guide. You can pick your guide and share photos or make conversations with the virtual guide to keep the interaction going. You can download Wander iPhone app for free of cost from iTunes App Store.
Wander App Features
Some issues with guide selection process notwithstanding, Wander app for iPhone facilitates easy sharing of authentic personal experiences with people of other cultures. Photos are great ways to share the minutiae of one’s day, and the app’s daily photo-missions make it easy and fun to exchange images that capture your lives and your surroundings. In a sense, it works like Instagram. Another important feature of Wander for iPhone is that you can communicate in any language as you wish. Make use of the Tap-to-Translate feature regardless of whether or not you share a common language. At present, the app supports virtual guides from 80 odd countries from across six contents on the globe.
One apparent downside is that iPhone Wander app does not have a feature to upload a user photo. For some users at least, connecting to a profile without a photo might feel a bit awkward. Having a profile photo, like in Facebook, creates a better sense of community and feel more connected in the ensuing interactions. Hope the developers will come with a quick solution to this apparent shortcoming.
Given the nature of how the app works, one’s user experience depends entirely on the type/quality of guide one gets. Also, you’ll get only one match per day. So if you happen to decline a guide because he/she is not good or had a guide already from that country before, you’ll be left without one for that day. Wander iPhone application is designed to work with iOS versions 4.0 or later.
Final Thoughts
Wander app for iPhone is a great way to meet people from across the globe and forge lasting friendships. Tap-to-Translate comes handy if you and your guide do not share a common language. The downside with the app is that if you get paired with the wrong person, you’re stuck with him for one full week. Such caveats apart, however, we recommend Wander for iPhone for anyone who is looking for a virtual cross-cultural interaction with likeminded people from across the globe.
