iPhones<\/strong>, which enables you to look at photos of places near you or ocean away which were posted by travelers and locals.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Figuring out destinations to visit in this way can make for a very attractive and also imperfect experience. For example, after downloading the app, you can select featured images or those of nearby places, since the app detects your location.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Among the featured images today were a photo of Antler Arch in the Jackson Hole, Wyo., town square, and street art in Leknes, Norway.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One of the interesting things about Trover is you can identify who uploaded the image to Trover and\u00a0 how many followers they have. And you can get a handle on their tastes by viewing other photos they have posted.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can access a Google <\/strong>Map of the area on the same screen of the photo and read other peoples\u2019 comments about the attraction and locale.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
In addition, Trover users can tap \u201cThank\u201d if they enjoyed the photo (the more \u201cthanks\u201d the better), make comments and share the image on social networks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But, as interesting as the photos can be, the information that accompanies the photos often falls short of what you might get in a guidebook or tourism app.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For example, the Jackson Hole image doesn\u2019t identify the image as the Antler Arch, but the photo is appealing nonetheless and might inspire a visit.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The app\u2019s \u201cnearby\u201d feature is especially appealing if you are looking for something spontaneous to do a short distance away.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For example, Trover shows me a photo of Christopher Reeve\u2019s wheelchair and points out that the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation is 2.1 miles away in Millburn, New Jersey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
And, from that image you can tap \u201cjump to nearby discoveries\u201d and browse images ranging from Turtleback Zoo in West Orange, N.J., to a \u201cgreat new neighborhood caf\u00e9,\u201d Caf\u00e9 Amici, in Montclair, N.J.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you feel like skipping the crowds and guided tours when traveling, Trover can be good do-it-yourself discovery tool.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But, with detailed and reliable descriptions lacking at times, you might also want to bring along a guidebook or another tour guide app as back-up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
