BeenThere
Safety-first travel network for solo & female explorers
After finishing #15 on Product Hunt in May, we built the official BeenThere iOS app from scratch! Most travel apps tell you where to go, but never how safe the neighborhood is. BeenThere brings real peace of mind: • Street-level Community Safety Index • Real-time in-app safety alerts as you explore • Dedicated ratings for solo & female travelers • Honest highlights, lowlights & scam precautions • Peaked at #33 in Travel on App Store in 24 hours! Free on iOS. Know before you go. Stay Safer.
Back in May, I introduced an early web prototype here on Product Hunt and was blown away when it finished as #15 Product of the Day.
Following that launch, the response went far beyond what I expected — from encouraging messages on LinkedIn and the YC Co-Founder network, to BeenThere being featured across independent travel blogs in Asia, the US, and Europe.
That global validation proved one thing: travelers genuinely need a platform that prioritizes safety. So over the past few months, I spent every day turning that early concept into a high-performance native iOS app built from scratch.
Why BeenThere?
"Because travellers deserve more than ratings — they deserve to know how safe a place actually feels." 🌍
When planning a trip, traditional platforms give you thousands of reviews on hotel beds and restaurant menus. Yet, the most critical question remains unanswered: Is this neighborhood actually safe to explore?
At BeenThere, I built a community-driven travel platform focused on the one thing most travel apps ignore: Travel Safety.
What makes BeenThere different? • 🌍 Community-Powered Safety Index — Street-level safety ratings computed from real explorers on the ground. • 👣 Solo & Female Traveler Insights — Tailored safety metrics designed specifically for solo and female backpackers. • ⚠️ Scam Alerts & Precautions — Firsthand advice to help you spot and avoid common tourist traps. • ✨ Honest Highlights & Lowlights — Unfiltered destination feedback from people who have actually been there (no sponsored influencer fluff). • 🧭 Insider Local Tips — Navigate unfamiliar streets with confidence. • 📍 Optional Real-Time Location Awareness — Instant safety awareness right as you explore.
Travel smarter. Stay safer. Know before you go.
BeenThere recently launched on the App Store and peaked at #33 on the Travel charts in our first 24 hours. The iOS app is live and free to download.
Would love for you to give it a spin! 🚀

Who hunted BeenThere ?
BeenThere was hunted by Farhan Hashmi. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
