Guidance, the get-off alarm and leave reminders: never miss your stop

7 November 2026

How to turn on step-by-step guidance with notifications in Wiesz Kiedy, the destination stop alarm and a reminder of when to leave home to catch your tram or bus.

You know the feeling: you got lost in a book on the tram and rode past your stop. Or you left home two minutes too late. Wiesz Kiedy has three features that prevent both.

Leave reminder

In the details of a connection, tap Remind me to leave. The app alerts you 5 minutes before you need to leave, e.g. “Leave at 7:42 to catch line 52 from Rondo Mogilskie”. If it is already time to go for that connection, you will see that at once. Set the alarm sound in Settings.

Step-by-step guidance

After choosing a connection, start guidance. The app leads you through the whole trip, and the current step sits in a notification, so you do not need to keep the app open:

1. Go to: stop (how many metres and roughly how many minutes on foot),
2. Board 52 → Czerwone Maki, with how many minutes until it leaves,
3. Riding line 52 to: …, with the next stop and the minutes until you get off,
4. Get off at … and, if needed, Then change to line 4,
5. You have arrived.

When the stop where you get off is a request stop, guidance reminds you to press STOP, or the vehicle will not halt. When boarding at a request stop, it tells you to signal the driver.

Guidance also works without location access: the steps then follow the timetable and delays. It works for today's trips, and End turns it off at any moment.

Get-off alarm

Just want a warning before the end of the ride? Turn on the Destination stop alarm. As you approach your destination the phone rings and vibrates: “Wiesz Kiedy • Exit alarm”. Turn it off from the notification. It needs location access.

Alert when a vehicle is close

Waiting for a particular tram? Open it on the map and, in its details, tap the stop where you are waiting or getting off. The app notifies you when the vehicle is close to it.

Settings worth checking

• Vibration during navigation & alarms: turn it on if your phone is often on silent.
• Exit alarm sound: pick one you will hear through headphones.
• Notifications for the app must be allowed in Android. Otherwise the guidance steps are only visible in the app, and the app will tell you so.
