omfg been waiting for them to actually make this kind of app for years. Looks like it works exactly how it should work. As someone who travels almost exclusively with LP, carrying about the book (or part of the book - i tear out relevant pages) is generally cumbersome. This is AMAZING at first glance. Wish I had it in asia a few weeks ago. Wow. Nice work LP! Finally!
@mulligan "omfg been waiting for them to actually make this kind of app for years."
Me too. Me too.
@mmccroskey & @bradhaynes, I was contemplating building a native app very similar to this a couple years ago while working on @ohheyworld, and selling it to LP. Or, building it for LP as a consulting project. I think I actually did try to connect with a business development person, but never made any real progress. I knew what the product should be, but didn't have anyway to get the data.
Congrats!
@samir_doshi Glad you like it! And as @bradhaynes said, a big request from customers. Please let us know how it works for you if you get a chance to try it!
This is something a friend of mine and I had fear the need for a short while back. I am glad that Lonely Planet has given us a place. Does this have a possibility of becoming a local guide? Or is that in your future product plan?
@sumeshdugar Having local guides would be cool - we were working on a product where locals can form a following with their expertise and build curated collections for routes for experiencing something in a place... would be cool to see here
@sumeshdugar The ability to provide travelers with a "local" guide is definitely a goal, albeit hard to achieve. So much more we're hoping to accomplish in the coming year. Can't wait to post more!
Your wonderful product has inspired my to come up with some..
Ideations for possible customer acquisition facilitation methods including..
Offering your services to travel agents to promote to their clients..
Partnering with rideshare and taxi companies to promote this in accordance with their services..
Circulating flyers at airports for new arrivals..
Getting your app featured on in-flight magazines..
I hope you find these helpful!!
I really look forward to using your great product!
Thank you.
