Cuba Offline Guide

About this app

Cuba has no WiFi. This guide doesn't need it. Every paladar, beach, museum, ATM, hospital, tourist police station, and 24h pharmacy in this app is pinned to a fully offline map. Pull it out anywhere — Habana Vieja, Viñales, the road to Trinidad, a casa particular with no signal — and it works. — WHAT'S INSIDE — - 185+ places, each one written about honestly. If a paladar is a tourist trap, the app says so. If the mojito at La Bodeguita is overpriced and you'd do better three blocks away, the app says so. - Offline maps for the whole island, plus 21 city centers at street-level detail (Habana, Trinidad, Santiago, Viñales, Varadero, Cienfuegos, Camagüey, and more). - 380+ ETECSA office locations and 40+ emergency points: international tourist clinics, hospitals, tourist police, Cadeca exchanges, 24h pharmacies. - Currency calculator with the informal-market rate — the rate Cubans actually use, not the fictional Cadeca rate that's 4× worse. $100 USD ≈ 53,000 CUP at the street, 12,000 at the bank. - 100+ phrases in Spanish with English, Français, Русский, Deutsch, and Italiano translations, plus tap-to-hear audio. - Cubanismos soundboard — distinctly Cuban slang you won't hear in any other guide: ¿Qué bolá? · Asere · ¡Dale! · ¡Qué bárbaro! · Coger botella · La jaba · ¡Chao, pescao! - SOS section with offline emergency phrases ("Estoy perdido. ¿Puede mostrarme dónde estamos?") and step-by-step instructions for power cuts, lost passports, medical emergencies, ATM failures, getting scammed, and getting lost. - GPS locate-me — no servers, no accounts, no tracking. - Photo gallery sourced from Wikimedia Commons, with credits. — BUILT BY A CUBAN — Most travel apps for Cuba are scraped, machine-translated, or written by someone who spent two weeks in Habana and called it research. This one isn't. I'm Pablo. I grew up there. Every editorial description was written for this app, with the bias of someone who's actually been to the place — and where I disagree with conventional travel-blog wisdom, I say so. — SIX LANGUAGES — English · Español · Français · Русский · Deutsch · Italiano. Every place description is original prose, not machine-translated. Section headers, phrases, and the entire UI translate properly across all six. — NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. — You don't sign in. The app doesn't talk to any server I run. Your location stays on your phone. There are no in-app purchases. There is no advertising. The privacy policy is short for a reason: there's almost nothing to disclose. — WHO IT'S FOR — - First-time Cuba travelers who don't want to get scammed or stranded. - Returning travelers who already know the basics and want honest picks. - Spanish-speakers, Russian-speakers, French / German / Italian travelers who default to apps that don't bother translating. - Anyone who's heard "no es fácil" and understood why it matters. — SOURCES SHOW. OPINIONS ARE MINE. — Map data and ETECSA offices: OpenStreetMap. Photos: Wikimedia Commons. Currency rates: ElToque. Editorial voice: a Cuban with skin in the game. If something is wrong or out of date, there's a one-tap "Help us improve" button inside the Tips tab. Opens your email app with diagnostics pre-filled. I read every one. ¿Qué bolá, asere? Dale. — Pablo

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
