✨ What's New

A better Android app, and this very page.

• ✨ This page! We're now keeping a real, running list of what's new — you're looking at it.
• 🔍 Real search on Android — start typing and see matching places, cities, and circuits instantly, no more waiting.
• 🗺️ "Open on Google Maps" now shows up on more place cards in the app.
• ✓ A clearer "verified" badge on Android — see at a glance whether a place has been checked in person, cross-checked against a real source, or is still AI-drafted.
• The Swamarg logo now actually shows up throughout the Android app, not just on the home screen icon.
• A sort option (significance, most places, name, or state) for browsing destinations on Android.

Everything below, now on Android too.

• The Swamarg Android app just caught up on a batch of features that had only been on the website — suggesting tips and corrections, claiming your business, fair-price reports, crowd forecasts, Help & Safety, and your Circuit Passport are all now in the app.

Help make Swamarg better — and get recognized for it.

• 💡 Suggest a tip or correction on any place's page — a practical tip, a scam warning, or a fix to something we got wrong. Accepted suggestions earn you standing as a Contributor, then a Local.
• 🏁 Open Bounties — a real, running list of questions Swamarg couldn't answer well yet. Help fill one in and get extra credit.
• 🏆 Curators of the month — the most helpful contributors in each city get named on that city's own page.
• 🏪 Claim your business — if Swamarg already has your shop, hotel, or service listed, you can now claim it and make it your own editable page, instead of starting from scratch.
• 💰 Fair-price reports — see what other travelers actually paid for an auto-rickshaw, a boat ride, a guide, a meal, or a room, in each city — a real range, reported by real people, not a guess.
• 🕉️ Crowd forecasts on temple pages — a heads-up on whether today looks busy, and a lighter day nearby if it does.
• 🆘 Help & Safety — every national emergency number in one place, one tap to call.
• 🖨️ Printable city sheets — a clean, offline-friendly page you can print or save before a trip.
• Business owners: publishing a listing now goes through a quick review before it's visible to travelers — still free, still no payment step, just a real person checking it first.

Where Swamarg started.
