Our Apps

French Food Decoder

The perfect companion for any English speaker visiting or living in France, this is the most comprehensive app of its kind. Several years in the making, it includes over 1,260 articles covering the gamut of one of the world’s greatest cuisines.

Greek Food Decoder

There’s far more to Greek cuisine than gyros, moussaka, and baklava. There are gogkes, ambelofasoula, and stamnagathi! And what’s the name of that beautiful fish that the waiter has just presented for your inspection? A sargos, skaros and a thrapsalo?

Italian Food Decoder

Whether you’re a first time visitor to Italy or a hopelessly smitten foodie, this app will help you navigate the extraordinary world of Italian food—and make sure when you're in a restaurant, you get what you want.

Barcelona Art & Culture

Barcelona is where Europe goes to play. She’s a city that sparkles and fizzes, making the world watch just to see what she’ll do next. Plunge straight into her buzzing heart and discover just how Barcelona became Barcelona with this remarkably in-depth app by two old pros who have been writing about the city for decades.

Bologna + Modena Art & Culture

It’s an uncanny brown apparition on the misty Emilian plain, a city of a billion bricks and a thousand arcades, sheltering under a pair of tipsy, lofty medieval towers. Bologna may be the odd duck of Italian art cities, but no one can deny its geeky charisma. This is the city of learned doctors and Formula One speedsters, of promenaders under graceful porticos and platoons of ladies in furs, gliding serenely down the avenues on their bicycles.

Florence Art & Culture

Whether you only have a couple of days to visit Florence’s museums, or want to spend a vacation seeking out every single work by Donatello or every Medici villa, this is the app for you. The 400 entries cover not only the tourist sights, but also the biographies of the artists, sculptors, architects and writers who changed the history of the western art and thought from Masaccio and Michelangelo to the most obscure.

Greek Islands

This app is the culmination of over 40 years travelling and writing about the Greek islands. It covers all the inhabited Greek islands (and some fascinating uninhabited ones), bringing out their unique personalities, history, mythology, their archaeological and historical sites, their beaches, gorges, mountains, and waterfalls (yes, there are some!), their beautiful villages and churches.
