Getaways
iPhone / Voyages
Getaways is the trip planner that becomes your tour guide.
PLAN IT TOGETHER
Paste the link to the place you booked — Airbnb, Vrbo, a hotel — and Getaways builds the trip around it: a real name, a real map, days sketched with places worth leaving the cabin for. Can't agree on where to go? Getaways proposes three getaways nearby and the group votes. Friends join from one link, no account needed.
THEN IT RIDES ALONG
On the drive, Getaways becomes your tour guide. As you approach a waterfall, an overlook, a bridge with a story, a friendly voice speaks up — "coming up on your left…" — with stories grounded in real facts. Music dips under the narration and comes right back. Everything is prepared before you leave, so it keeps working far past the last bar of signal.
DRIVES WORTH TAKING
You don't need a trip to take a drive. Download a ready-made narrated drive — Yosemite, Big Sur, Lake Tahoe, Malibu, Joshua Tree, Mount Rainier, with more on the way — and just go.
THE DETAILS
• The planning happens on your iPhone. Your plans never leave it to be made.
• Open any stop in Apple Maps; drop the big moments into your calendar.
• Parking and arrival tips for the stops that need them, from official sources.
• Prices and availability stay on the listing where they belong.
The next free weekend is closer than the group chat makes it feel. Step into more.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
Getaways is two apps in one - narrated Drives and group Trips - and this update gives them one home.
NEW - HOME & TAB BAR
A native bottom tab bar puts Home, Drives, and Trips one tap apart. Home greets you first: drives near you, a card to join a friend's trip from their link or code, and the trips you already have going.
DRIVES - narrated road trips, now with scenery
- Real photography for every drive, from Big Sur's coastline to Multnomah Falls - with photographer credits where they belong.
- The natural narrator now ships inside the app. No setup, no download - install, pick a drive, and the voice is ready. Fully offline.
- Listen before you go: tap any stop to unfold its story and hear it read aloud, transcript right on the page.
- New drive: Columbia Gorge Waterfalls - twenty stops along the historic highway.
TRIPS - plan the getaway together
- Paste your stay link or pick a getaway, and the plan builds itself.
- Friends vote from one link - no accounts needed - and voting closes on its own.
- See who's coming: add your crew to the roster, right on the board.
- Put the drive in the plan: schedule a narrated drive into your itinerary - Day 2, 1 to 5 PM, drive.
- Your trip's drives ride along on the way out - because getting there is the getaway.
Plus bug fixes and user-flow improvements throughout: smoother first launch, steadier trip creation, invites that stick, and drives that match your trips more reliably.
