Places

Places was born out of the idea to explore your neighborhood but with a specific goal. Imagine the following "You just studied for 4 hours and would like to take a 60-min break. You would like to go outside to catch some fresh air but you’re not the type of person which just walks in a circle". That’s where Places comes into the picture. You open the app and Places shows you beautiful spots in your area within an adjustable radius. Since you only have a 60-min Break, you look for a place within 20 min walking distance. You see a great place, select it and Places shows you the exact direction to it. You walk to the spot, enjoy the view, take a picture and add it to the spots' gallery. After a 20-min rest you're on your way back, just in time to get back to work with a fresh mind.
