I’m very happy to announce that we’ve just released Tripline for iPhone / iPad. It’s available for free in the app store.
If you don’t have an iPhone/iPad, you can use our mobile site instead. More info here: http://help.tripline.net/mobile (stay tuned for an Android app soon)
Our mobile apps are built with usefulness in mind, so I thought I’d share with you a few ways that I use Tripline Mobile to make life easier.
- To access and update plans while traveling. Not only is it super-easy to get to your flight/hotel/restaurant information, but it’s also a great way to record places you visit (by checking in) so when you get home, you already have a story ready to share with friends. If you’re concerned about privacy, just set your trip to “Private” and nobody will see your updates until you decide to share.
- To create a simple list of places for a day. For example, If Vivien and I are headed out for a busy Saturday, I’ll quickly create a trip in the morning using local search on the mobile app and add all of the places we’re planning to go. It’s really helpful to have a simple bullet list of places with links to directions, phone numbers etc., and it helps me make more efficient plans with less backtracking. Give it a try on your next busy day and see if it makes life easier.
- To make lists of local restaurants I want to try like “LA Sandwiches”, “LA Burgers” etc. That way, when I’m hungry (and impatient), I have lists of places to pick from. And If someone else has already created a good list in your area, you can bookmark it on the site and get to it on your phone that way. ( If you live in LA or are planning a trip here, check out http://www.tripline.net/bestofla )
Anyone else have a “Here’s How I Use Tripline” story to share? Go to http://blog.tripline.net/contact-us/ and send us a note. We’ll be happy to blog about your adventures.
That’s all for now. If you have an iPhone or iPad, install the Tripline app! Oh, and tell your friends too.
