Travel the globe without leaving your chair in Worldview
Have you ever wanted to see Austria from the view of someone who lives there? Or, maybe you would like to check out that breaking news story from a witness right there on the scene. Worldview: Your Window into the World seeks to take you there – wherever it is.
What exactly the app does
Worldview brings you into a community of others like you who want to experience beautiful scenes and important cultural events around the globe. Feel like you were there when you see photos of breaking news stories. Be sure to tilt your device when viewing the photos to see different angles and more of the scenes.
How to get involved
Worldview offers a feature for taking photos of your own and sharing them with the community. You can also share photos you like on Facebook or vote for your favorites with just a tap.
Is it as cool as it sounds?
Actually, the photographs are pretty amazing. The nature scenes, from landscapes to wildlife, are just gorgeous. Unfortunately when it came to taking my own photos, the app could not recognize my camera. This is disappointing, however, the photos available from others to view are definitely worth a look.
Worldview: Your Window into the World is designed for iPhone and available for free on the App Store, with no visible ads.
