Hey guys,
Holiday season is pretty much here and it looks like the BBQs will be out in force this summer!
But if you’re off to hotter European destinations rather than going to Llandudno this year then we’ve just released an app for that!
We’ve created a new O2 Travel app, currently IOS and Android.
So what does it do?
The app gives you free access to Trip advisor content as well as city maps and guides so you can make the most of your European break without changing your digital habits!
The app allows you to sign up to the new O2 travel tariff which is:
- Pay and Go £1.99 for 50mb of data, which can be re-purchased if you run out
- Pay Monthly £1.99 for as much data as you need per day!
Some more details on it here- http://news.o2.co.uk/2014/06/13/travel-app-launches-with-content-from-tripadvisor/
Download the app here and let us know what you think
To opt in text TRAVEL to 23336
Do any of you have any travel plans for the summer? If so we’d love one of you guys to road test the app for us and create a guide/review!
Thanks
Brad

Seriously though...I have never been that impressed with Trip Advisor.It seems ok for general stuff, but a specific search in the accommodation section is very hit and miss.
Maps are very useful.Personally I don't follow trip adviser recommendations to be honest. Different people have different ideas of what's good for themselves. The whole idea of a trip overseas is to experience the places, whether they be restaurants or attractions, for yourself. That's half the enjoyment.

I tried the android version via Snap but the location services just crash the app.
Seconded!
For all the time it would take to port the Android version over to BB10, lets see the continued support from O2 we were promised

Two major observations I've found.
As stated, off to Berlin shortly so I've downloaded that.
As this is Trip Adviser based, a major disappointment is that it's all in German....ok I know.....!
Secondly all the prices I've found are in US dollars. More collaboration with the app people needed I think.

I can change the language of the reviews (or at least select a language) but it's guesswork as the pop up text isn't visible. There are 3 laguage choices and an "Any" option on this dialogue box.
