MY PLACES

What is My Places?

My Places is your personal travel catalog. All the destinations, hotels, restaurants, shops, museums, and any places you have recommended on AmiGo are saved to My Places. It is your AmiGo profile and where other amiGos see all the places you have recommended. My Places helps you remember all the places you have been and spots you have visited, and allows you to easily share your favorite places and experiences with others.

What is the Visited tab?

This is your private record of all the places you've traveled to around the world. If you completed the Travel History import, AmiGo pulled the location data from the photos in your camera roll and populated this tab for you. If you did not, you can perform the Travel History import at any time, or manually populate your Visited tab. Only you can see the destinations in your Visited tab; it is not visible to others when they look at your profile.

What is the My Gallery tab?

This is your curated travel catalog that you want to share with others. When you recommend places (hotels, restaurants, etc.), they appear in My Gallery and are grouped by destination. You can edit the images, destinations, and layout to match your travel aesthetic.

Who can see what I publish in My Gallery?

If your account is public, all AmiGo users can view what you publish in My Gallery. If your account is private, only your approved followers can access what you publish in My Gallery.

A destination is showing up in Visited that I haven't been to. Why is that?

If you completed the Travel History import, AmiGo pulled the location data from the photos in your camera roll. If you have any saved photos that friends sent you while they were traveling, this could have caused the error. You may delete the destination from the Visited tab if it is an error.

Why does the AmiGo database only have certain cities in it?

AmiGo's city database has been curated to include most of the top tourist destinations around the world. This has been done to keep the app as organized and user-friendly as possible. For example, our database has Miami, Florida, but it does not have Miami Beach, Florida. This way, users looking for recommendations in the greater Miami area will be able to find them all in one place. However, we are constantly adding to and improving our database. If you do not see a specific city and would like to add it to AmiGo, email info@amigo.app or shake your phone to send a report to our internal team.

AMIGOS

What is an AmiGo?

An AmiGo is any user that you follow. People that follow you are referred to as Followers.

RECOMMENDING

What type of place can I recommend?

You can recommend any point of interest as long as it has a location on Foursquare or Google Maps. This includes hotels, neighborhoods, restaurants, cafés, gyms, nail salons, spas, museums, parks, movie theaters, and more. Once you publish a recommendation, it is added to My Gallery in the city where it is located and is visible to your followers. We recognize that some places are not in Foursquare or Google Maps; we are working on expanding our mapping capabilities. In the meantime, if the place you want to recommend is not showing up, please contact info@amigo.app or shake your phone to send a report to our internal team.

What does MustGo mean?

MustGo is a label for your absolute favorite places. By selecting MustGo when you recommend a place, it means you consider that place a must-visit in the destination where it is located. The MustGo label is visible to other users when they see your recommendations.

Can I recommend a place without a photo?

Yes. You can recommend a place without a photo, or opt to add a public image from sources such as Foursquare and Google.

EXPLORE

What can I find in Explore?

Explore is the perfect tool for travel planning and finding great recommendations anywhere in the world. The Explore tab shows recommendations near your current location (if you allow us access to your location), curated AmiGo editorial content, and recommendations for places to travel based on your interests. You can also find and follow top users and tastemakers.

What are GOGuides?

GOGuides are AmiGo's tightly curated travel guides, with our expert recommendations on where to stay, eat, shop, and more in destinations around the world. If you are planning a trip to a place you have never traveled to before, filter by MustGo to see a short list of classic (but cool) places to visit. AmiGo editors add new guides and regularly update existing ones, so check back often for the latest travel intel.

FEED

What gets added to my Feed?

Your feed displays new content from your AmiGos and official AmiGo content, including GOGuides and Inspiration articles. To see more in your Feed, add more AmiGos!

When I publish a recommendation, does it go on other users' feeds?

Yes, but only for accounts that follow you.

MY WISHLIST

Will a user be notified if I save one of their recommended places to My Wishlist?

Yes. If you wishlist a place you found on a specific AmiGo's My Places, or the place has only been recommended by one person, then that AmiGo will receive a notification that you wishlisted their recommended place.

Who can see My Wishlist?

Your Wishlist is private.

PRIVACY

Will my information or photos be shared?

Absolutely not. We care about protecting your information and privacy. You choose to share what you want with your followers, and if your account is private, no one except the people you allow to follow you will see anything you publish. For more information, see our Privacy Policy.

INVITES

Why is AmiGO invite-only?

AmiGo is invite-only so that our content remains as curated and valuable as possible. Users have a limited number of invites to share with their most well-traveled friends and family.

Who can I invite?

Anyone you want! We recommend inviting people that you often ask for travel tips, but you can use your invites as you see fit.

I used my 5 invites. Can I get more?

Yes! The more you engage with the app, the more invites you will get. Start by recommending some of your favorite places, and following AmiGos.

How does the waitlist work?

We continuously monitor the waitlist, and add new users as often as possible while maintaining our tight-knit community. You can bypass the waitlist if an AmiGo user invites you to the app!
