Frequently asked questions
Everything important about Sehenswert at a glance.
Is Sehenswert free?
Yes. Sehenswert is completely free – no subscription, no in-app purchases and no ads. You don't need an account – if you want to back up your trips, you can sign in with Apple or Google.
Which devices is Sehenswert available for?
Sehenswert is available for free on the App Store for iPhone, currently in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. An Android version is planned.
How does Sehenswert choose the best sights?
The app analyses ratings on Google. It looks not only at the score but also at how many people have rated a place: a sight with 4.7 stars from 40,000 reviews ranks above one with 5 stars from just three reviews. That way the real highlights come first.
Which places does the app work for?
Worldwide. Type in a town, island or region – for example Crete, Rome or Lake Garda – or use your current location and search within 10 to 100 kilometres. Each list shows up to 15 sights.
Can I tick off sights together with others?
Yes. Share a trip via link or code with family and friends – no account needed. Everyone ticks off on their own phone, and the ticks show up for all within seconds.
Does Sehenswert work offline?
Yes. Once loaded, your list, pictures and details are available without internet – handy in gorges, on mountains or in dead spots. New searches, restaurant search and the AI features need an internet connection.
What can the AI in the app do?
Three things: “Good to know” summarises practical tips from thousands of reviews – such as parking, admission or the best time to visit. With “Ask the place” you ask your own questions like “Is it suitable for children?”. And “What is this?” explains or translates a photo, for example a fresco or a Greek sign. The AI is Claude by Anthropic; questions and photos are only sent after your consent.
What happens to my data?
Your trips, ticked places, favourites and photos stay on your iPhone – except trips you choose to share. Your location is only used for the search at hand and is not stored. There is no tracking and no advertising. All details are in the privacy policy.
Is Sehenswert available in English?
Yes. The app follows your iPhone's language and is available in English and German – including descriptions, tips and AI answers. Foreign-language signs or menus are translated for you by the camera feature.
