Welcome To…Native Apps

Our Welcome to app software (iOS & Android) is the gold standard for location-responsive visitor guide apps. It uses GPS and iBeacons to determine the user’s location and display nearby places of interest on interactive mapping.

With rich content and optional plugins, our software has been specifically designed to encourage exploration of the countryside, heritage sites, museums and tourist attractions.

Welcome To features a sliding navigation menu that allows users to switch from one task to another. Once downloaded your app will work without an internet connection, making it perfect for outdoor areas and venues with poor wifi coverage. Our apps support multiple languages.

Take a look at some of our case studies.

Features

Places

Places of interest are displayed both in list format and as a series of pins on the app’s interactive map. They can be filtered by category. Places can be manually selected (from the map/list view) or triggered automatically with GPS (outdoors) and Bluetooth beacons (indoors).

Each Place has its own individual rich content page that can be populated with text, images, audio and video.
