CityScope AI: Landmark History

Point your camera at any landmark and CityScope AI identifies it, tells its history, and now reads the story aloud as an audio tour.

IDENTIFY ANY LANDMARK
Point your camera at a building, monument, statue, or street. CityScope AI uses Google's Gemini vision model to identify what you are looking at and gives you the landmark's name, location, and a short summary on the spot. Take a photo on the move or import one later from your library.

LISTEN — AUDIO TOUR (new in v3)
Tap Listen on any landmark and the history reads aloud. Pocket your phone and keep walking. The audio uses your device's built-in narration with iOS premium voices, so there is no streaming, no data cost, and no waiting. Free for every user.

DISCOVER THE HISTORY
Beyond a quick name, CityScope AI researches each landmark and gives you a real history — when it was built, who built it, what happened there, and what to know before you visit. Written by an AI tuned to act as an experienced local historian, with named events and datable moments instead of generic blurbs.

EXPLORE A CITY
Type a city name and get a curated mix of places to visit — landmarks, museums, neighborhoods, food, and viewpoints — with best-time-to-visit notes that go beyond "iconic" and "world-famous."

POSTCARDS
Turn any landmark photo into a styled postcard. Pick from preset styles or describe the look you want in your own words. Save to your photo library, share, or use as a screen saver of your trip.

TRIP COLLECTIONS
Group discoveries into named trips like "Paris 2024." Reorder, set a cover image, and export your trip as a visual itinerary to share with the people you traveled with.

HISTORY
Every landmark you identify is saved. Favorite the ones you loved. Browse by trip or by date.

DESIGNED FOR IPHONE AND IPAD
A single subscription covers both devices. iPad gets a full sidebar layout.

PRIVACY-FORWARD
No account, no login. Your discoveries stay on your device. Identified photos and prompts are sent only to Google's Gemini AI to do the actual identification and history research — and only after you accept the on-screen AI data consent.
