Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about Turi

Can’t find your question? Write to us.

Is Turi free?
Yes. The app for families is free and doesn’t need an account. Extras such as audio guides may appear in the future, but the map, the route and the checklist will stay free.
Does the app work without signal?
Yes. Open the place at home and tap “Save for offline”: the map, descriptions, photos and route are saved on your phone, and GPS positioning works without internet.
Does Turi track where I am?
No. Your GPS position is processed only on the phone and is not sent to our servers. We only collect anonymous events (e.g. “point ticked off”) to improve the routes and give places overall statistics.
Which places are in the app?
Right now there are 20 places: Wrocław Zoo, Toruń Open-Air Museum, Orientarium Zoo Łódź, Lublin Open-Air Museum, Ochla Open-Air Museum, Kraków Zoo, Zubrzyca Górna Open-Air Museum, Warsaw Zoo, Sierpc Open-Air Museum, Radom Open-Air Museum, Opole Open-Air Museum, Opole Zoo, Sanok Open-Air Museum, Gdańsk Zoo, Chorzów Open-Air Museum, Silesian Zoo in Chorzów, Tokarnia Open-Air Museum, Olsztynek Open-Air Museum, New Zoo in Poznań, Dziekanowice Open-Air Museum. We’ll keep adding more. Do you run a place? Sign it up on the For places page.
Where do the maps, descriptions and photos come from?
We draw the maps from OpenStreetMap (ODbL licence) and the national topographic database BDOT10k, then check them against aerial photos. The descriptions are based on the places’ own materials, and the photos come from Wikimedia Commons and are credited to their authors. You can report a mistake in the app at the point itself or through the contact form.
What is the explorer passport?
It is a booklet in the app where kids collect stamps for visit milestones: the first point, the halfway mark, the whole recommended route and the whole place, each with the date of the visit. Further trips earn badges. The passport stays on your phone and needs no account.
When is the iPhone version coming?
Once the Android version is polished. We want to test the routes and maps with real families first.
Is the APK file safe? How do I remove the app?
You download the file straight from turi.pl, and the publisher is Selis Sp. z o.o. from Toruń. The Play Protect warning appears for every app from outside Google Play and does not mean there is a threat. The app only asks for your location, and only while it is open. You remove it like any other app: press and hold the Turi icon and choose “Uninstall”.
I have an iPhone. What can I do now?
On the Download page you can leave your email, and we’ll write to you once, when the iPhone version is ready. Until then, you’ll find the map of each place, the list of points and tips on turi.pl under Attractions.
How much battery and data does it use?
Not much. You download the place once, ideally at home over Wi-Fi (the “Save for offline” button); after that the map, descriptions and photos work without internet. Your position updates as you walk, not every second, to save battery.
Which languages is Turi available in?
Polish, English, German and Ukrainian. You change the language on the start screen, in the top right corner. Point names and descriptions are translated, and each point also shows the Polish name from the sign.
Do the places work with Turi?
We made the maps of the places currently in the app ourselves, from public data (OpenStreetMap, BDOT10k, the places’ websites). This does not mean we work with those places. Zoos and open-air museums that would like to check their descriptions and receive visit statistics are welcome to join our free pilot.
I run a place. How much does it cost?
The pilot for the 2027 season is free and comes with no obligation. Your part is one check of the descriptions (1 to 2 hours) and a poster with a QR code at the ticket office; we look after the map, descriptions and translations. Details on the “For places” page.
