NextOnTrip is our own mobile app for sightseeing: a map with tens of thousands of places, a trip planner and badges for visited attractions, so every journey across Poland and beyond becomes an adventure to tick off.

NextOnTrip is our own product: a mobile app for tourists and weekend explorers who look for attractions nearby, want to plan their sightseeing faster and share what they find with others. Details about places, such as opening hours, ticket prices and directions, had to be gathered from several sources, and sightseeing itself gave no sense of progress and no reason to come back for more. We designed and built the whole thing: the iOS and Android app, a backend that automatically imports places from open databases, and the nextontrip.com website. Users browse an interactive map with over 34,000 locations in 14 countries, build routes and trip plans, invite friends to a group trip, and GPS-verified visits turn into a collection of badges. The result: sightseeing without the chaos and an app ready for new markets.

Challenge we faced

  • Place data from Wikidata and OpenStreetMap was incomplete, duplicated and inconsistent in format, and merging it by hand could never keep up with the scale.
  • Imported coordinates were sometimes wrong, while third-party geolocation services throttle requests, drop connections and fail unpredictably.
  • A map with tens of thousands of points has to stay smooth on a phone that cannot handle that many markers on its own.
  • Push notifications and native sign-in with Google, Facebook and Apple behave differently on iOS and Android, yet users expect them to simply work.
  • Older app versions on users' phones must never break after a backend deploy, and bilingual page URLs have to stay stable.

    For LexVoice we built Karolina, an AI phone assistant for bailiff offices that answers calls, works out who is calling and why, and sends the office a ready-made note instead of a missed-call number.
