Read articleWandrer review on DC Rainmaker
DC Rainmaker published quite an extensive “Quick App Review” about Wandrer, which is available on the DC Rainmaker site. It’s always satisfying when the features that we read that Wandrers want (runs/walks in addition to bike rides, routing options, a native app for the phone) are the same features that we’re working hard to develop. Thanks for the write-up, DC Rainmaker and keep exploring!
Read articleRediscovering the world through Wandrer
I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to work with my husband Craig on Wandrer. We try to infuse a spirit of exploration and adventure into our life and the app grows out of our life. That said, there are times when working on Wandrer can be overwhelming: our to-do lists only grow and there are inevitably technical hiccups that are frustrating to fix and a bit discouraging.

It came from Wandrer Earth
Craig and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video from OPE! Cycling showing an attempt to ride a century on city streets without backtracking while maximizing new roads. There are so many classic Wandrer-ing moments captured here – unexpected no trespassing signs, climbing over fences, paths that are on the map but disappear into a huge pile of weeds, dead ends at a river.

We appreciate the kind words about Wandrer and the riding inspiration on the Pandas Do It Better blog. For those who don’t read German (like us, sadly), Google Translate works well.
Read articleHave you really been everywhere?
Read about how Wandrer compares to the experience of VeloViewer tiling over on the Explorer Square blog. One thing that stood out to me is how our perception of riding “everywhere” can change depending on how you look at the map – do you include dirt roads? What about dead ends? Dead ends can be tedious to ride, but also rewarding to explore (we’ve found neighborhood gathering spots, unknown community gardens, unexpected paths to other streets, huge piles of abandoned tires, etc.). No matter what motivates you to explore (tiling or completing every road), I hope you find reasons to keep getting out there.
