BPVNY, the 100% practical app that helps you prepare and enjoy your trip to New York!
I created this app as an extension of my blog https://www.bons-plans-voyage-new-york.com/
You will find all the useful information there to organize your stay but also to make your life there easier.
Passionate about the city of New York, where I visit regularly and of which I have become a specialist over the years, since 2008 I have shared my discoveries and good tips on my blog (the forum and associated social networks), my mobile app and my paper guide (GO New York).
I also created the travel agency https://www.voyage-en-francais.fr/new-york which organizes French-speaking guided tours and tourist activities in New York.
What does the BPVNY app offer?
The BPVNY app is above all a map of New York on which you can geolocate yourself in real time (thanks to GPS) without needing to be connected to the internet, in other words, you will be geolocated even if you are in airplane mode.
The map has several hundred hand-picked points of interest. You also have the possibility to create a list of favorites, and even add your own points of interest to the map! And this, even if you are offline (only some features require an internet connection).
The BPVNY app is also:
- Articles on everything you need to know before leaving and once there
- Official subway, bus and NYC Ferry maps (accessible with just one touch!)
- Standard schedules to help you plan and organize your activities
- A schedule editor with the possibility of creating and saving several schedules
- The list of reservations not to forget before leaving, with links to the different reservation portals (requires an internet connection)
- A tip calculator (for taxi, restaurant, etc.)
- A tax calculator (for shopping)
- A € - $ conversion tool
- Checklists to make sure you don't forget anything before departure (with the possibility of creating your own checklists)
- A French-English phrasebook
- An I love BPVNY poster (to give a nod to the BPVNY community!)
Naturally, the app will continue to be enriched over time and will always offer more services to meet the needs of as many people as possible.
So don’t hesitate to let me know your comments and suggestions for improvement!
