This is an idea for a City Explorer mobile app This is a simple application meant to help visitors to a city find their way around town to great shopping, eating, entertainment, lodging all within their price ranges.
The City Explorer mobile app is meant to be like having a friend from the area telling you how to find things and save money. Your friend will want you to have a great time and get a really good bang for your bucks.
You can create this app without coding skills. If you've put together the backend of a website before you should be able to create the app. There are mobile app generators for those with zero programming skills. Use the search engine to find the right code generation tools for you.

Once you find a code generator, break the app features into smaller part and then generate the code to make the code generation easy.
This City Explorer mobile app is a simple app where Locals will enter data about their city. The data can be on one form and broken up into sections of the form. Ideally you design the form so that the user can fill it out with very little typing. You would use drop down selectors, radio and/or check box selectors, slider and/or gauge selectors as ways for users to input data.
Locals, including businesses will have a form for them to give users information for whatever their expertise or taste in a category is. For example, I know all about the best museums in town, the pricing and how to get deals. The form should allow me to select Entertainment and then museums. Then the sub form is specific for museum-based information and pricing.
Another local example form would be for someone that might know all about country dance venues. They chose Entertainment then Dancing then Country Dance Venues and a form specific for that will come up and get filled out by that local.
You organize and then have a specific form for that type of information for the local to fill out. All will contain price ranges, noise levels, crowd levels, days of business, parking ease, public transport ease, route info and costs.
The Visitor is simply searching for information. They can fill out their default search form for things they'll do in town. When they enter the app, they can modify their preference data. They will have search buttons that will allow them to do a Default Search, Modified Search and Random Search.
The Default Search matches their default preferences. The Modified Search pops up a preference form that they can modify. This data will not be saved like their default data. The Random Search is the app choosing things at random for them to live a little outside of their comfort zone.

On the landing page of the app is the Locals button and the Visitors button. Each button uses social login to create an account for the user and take them to their form and features. Visitors will have to create a Visitor account in order to use the Visitor features. Locals can use the same social login or a different social login.
They have to include the price ranges and businesses could offer coupons. You can config the app to charge businesses a fee for their listings and to offer coupons. You may even want to offer location-based popup coupons. This means when a user has their app open and is within a certain distance from the business the coupon will pop up to let them know they are near a deal.

You can create interest forms for: dance venues, food tastes, clothing store taste, antique or souvenir shopping, all the things you'd do if you visited a city but had friends to ask questions on where to go and on a certain budget.
I've never been to Miami, and I do not know anyone there, so I use the app. I want to find a place to dance, country and eat a really good steak. I also want to shop for some dresses and shoes. I want to spend in the medium to not expensive price ranges.
When I have the app find my preferences the results will show, and I can share the results to the app's public Facebook feed for others to use and/or to my own social feeds for my peeps to know.
Locals and Visitors never meet, they do not need to because this is not a meet up app.
