In short
Field Trip is a free history app for Android created by Niantic, Inc. And this is a perfect way to see new places.
Highlights
Thanks for making our trips richer
Like yoga shop and hipster bar reviews whenever using that app
Used app for first time today to find good photography spots
Found 4 star restaurant to take date
This is a great way to see new places or ones you missed
Hope the developers continue to support this great software
And useful trivia and history app
Great idea with peer review of submissions
Would love an opportunity to serve on review commission
Worth a dl just to see the depth in what's around you
Out of the first half dozen locations I tried two were inaccurate
Why not allow locals to add places for visitors
Not sure why this app never took off in the travel space
Uninstalling cause of the Phantom notifications
Arcadia images are all broken
Not able to select anything
The entry screen shows up and then crashes
Why can't I view only Food Network's cards
I had not used this app in a while for fear of battery drain
Useless clone of Google maps

Field Trip is your guide to the cool, hidden, and unique things in the world around you. Field Trip runs in the background on your phone. When you get close to something interesting, it pops up a card with details about the location. No click is required. If you have a headset or bluetooth connected, it can even read the info to you.
Field Trip can help you learn about everything from local history to the latest and best places to shop, eat, and have fun. You select the local feeds you like and the information pops up on your phone automatically, as you walk next to those places.
The hyperlocal history experts of Arcadia and Historvius will unveil local lore in places you never expected. Trend-setting publications like TimeOut, Thrillist, Spotted by Locals, Zagat, and Eater will point out the best places to eat and drink. Experts at Sunset, Cool Hunting, WeHeart, Inhabitat, and Remodelista will guide you to the latest unique stores and products. Atlas Obscura, Dezeen and Spotted by Locals help you uncover hidden gems no matter where you are. Songkick and Flavorpill guide you to local music.
