Weview by Niky Gharahgozlouyan from Iran
15.305320387210754
Weview app is a virtual tourism app which helps people to make money while they are contacting each other. In this app you could be the guide, the tourist, or both. Assume that you want to see a historical place, cultural event or something that seems interesting to you and is around them. You, as a tourist, pays the guide to show you what exactly you want, with explanation or details of the place or event and they will be your personal guide in somewhere you cant be. Each tourist pays a fee per hour to the guide. The fees counts by dollar and each person pays and gets the money by its local currency. Each tourist rate the guide who shows them around. This rate is based on the information they gave, the patient that they have to show a place and the accuracy on what their doing. Tourists get rate too, by their manners and behaviours. The amount of payment could be in two ways, A. People turn that to cash money and, B. They keep it as a credit in their account. This account could help them, if they want to see somewhere in another country and by their own currency, it can be so expensive. So, maybe someone already pays them on dollar, and they can pay by dollar in their credit, without paying extra for currency difference. Think of opportunity in which you could see 5 different places in the world, just in few days, and spend less money on knowing how is other places in the world.
