Built for the road

Everything a traveller asks.

  • Find by place

    Search a city and you get the tips for everywhere inside it, from the whole country down to one museum.

  • Thanks, verified, fixed

    Thank a tip that helped, confirm one is still true, or suggest a fix. The tips that keep helping rise to the top.

  • Plan the trip

    Lay out your stops, nights, trains and stays on a globe, and see what you have and have not written up yet.

  • Works with no signal

    Write on the plane, in the metro, up the mountain. Everything saves on your phone and shares when you are back online.

How it works

Three steps. Most take a minute.

  1. 1

    Pick a place

    Search it, or let your location suggest the town you are in.

  2. 2

    Say what helps

    The thing you would tell a friend who is going next week.

  3. 3

    Share it, or don't

    Every tip is for everyone unless you mark it Just me.

Yours first

What you write lives on your phone.

Tips and trips are saved on your device first, and only what you choose to share leaves it. Trips are never public. You can use MANGO without an account at all; sign in only when you want your tips out in the world under your name.
