Spotted By locals changed the way we travel ! Our trips to Lisboa , Warsaw and Stockholm became much more beautiful by using SBL app ! Really looking for our next trip to discover the hidden gems of the cities, especially to cities like Yerevan or Tbilisi !
If one is interested to see where the locals are hanging out and to check the cities more than tourist books are suggesting - then this is a must have app.
I found SpottedbyLocals in their early stages several years ago. I met with their founders and became a witness of their expansion and improvements. Wherever I travel, I make sure I download that city if it is available.
I almost stopped visiting places, which are not listed on SpottedbyLocals.
The latest version of the app has great improvements in design and stability. Their content is the king anyways.
I really enjoy using the Spotted by Locals app, I always download it in advance to make sure I have an offline map of the city. From the very first day in a new city I can feel save because I always know where to find delicious food, the best panoramic views or any interesting sights.
Since I have discovered this app I used it for Viena, Belgrade, Thessaloniki, Skopje and Budapest - and it was a great experience. You have the chance to find truly hidden city gems that only local can tell you. I like the fact that it works offline perfectly well! SBL has became for me a must have app for travelling.
I use Spotted by Locals app when researching which cities to visit next, and when I'm in the actual city. The offline map is very easy to use and saves me from using data. :)
It could be nice to have the option of selecting some spots on the map and then creating a printable PDF that you can print and have with you with all the spots and information so that you don't have to have your phone in your hand as you walk around, visiting the spots.
