Does an AI wellness app work in your city? Here is how to check

Most wellness apps quietly limit themselves to a handful of countries — English-only, US-only payment rails, features that break outside a home market. Here is what actually determines whether an AI wellness app works where you live, and how Aura avoids the problem entirely.

Why do most wellness apps not work well outside a few countries?

Three things usually break: language (UI only in English or one market's language), payment rails tied to one region, and location features (like walk tracking or navigation) hardcoded to specific map data. An app avoids this by being a browser-based PWA, supporting many languages natively, and using open map data that covers any street worldwide.

Does Aura work in cities outside Italy and the US?

Yes. Aura is a free Progressive Web App with dedicated local pages for 80+ cities across Italy, Europe, the Americas, Asia, Oceania and Africa — from Milan and Rome to London, New York, Tokyo, Sao Paulo and Singapore — and it works anywhere else too, since it needs no app store or region lock. See the full list at useaura.it/city.

Does AuraNavigator only route in major cities?

No. AuraNavigator uses OpenStreetMap routing, which covers streets globally, not a curated city list — it pays AuraCoins per km walked, cycled or driven wherever you are, with turn-by-turn voice guidance in 13 languages.

What if my city is not on the list?

Aura still works. The city pages exist for local search discovery, not as a gate — sign up on useaura.it from anywhere and every feature (habits, mood, AI psychologist, AuraNavigator) is available immediately.
