This Is The Place
Where to go, where to eat: This Is The Place gives you one app for the answer.
The map starts from a fixed point you control. You can move and zoom freely, return with one tap, and only refresh search results when you actually change the starting point. Around that core map workflow, the app combines Hong Kong and Singapore public transport, saved places, restaurant discovery, and global weather.
- Hong Kong and Singapore transport
- 80+ cuisines
- Saved places and notes
- 3D globe weather
At a glance
One map, several daily jobs.
Core idea
A map built around one starting point
The starting point stays fixed while you explore, compare, or search. That keeps transport results, nearby discovery, and saved places tied to the trip you are actually planning.
