Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

*For Switzerland only!* The search.ch app IDs incoming calls and unsolicited advertising calls for you, and even lets you block them: • Thanks to caller ID, you always know who’s contacted you, even if their number isn’t in your address book. • The app can also automatically block known and verified advertising callers if desired. The search.ch app also offers other helpful features: • Live Search: find locations such as petrol stations, restaurants and ATMs near you, wherever you are. You can also see departure times for the nearest public transport stop. • Timetable: find the fastest public transport connections – by train, tram, bus, PostBus or boat – and see any delays in real time. • Telephone directory: find the telephone numbers and addresses of individuals and companies in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, including their locations on the map. • Weather: always stay informed with local forecasts featuring rain maps, a five-day forecast, water temperature forecast, rain radar and written forecast. • Map/route planner: benefit from the most detailed map of Switzerland with information about public transport, museums, car parks, restaurants, hiking routes and campfire sites. Our car, bike and pedestrian route planners will take you directly to your destination without any unplanned diversions. • TV and cinema schedules: see the current schedule – a straightforward overview at any time.
