TripAdvisor, a travel site, has launched its application called TripAdvisor App for Android Wear smartwatches. The free app, which is currently available on Google Play, helps travellers find nearby things to do with access to TripAdvisor traveler reviews and ratings of hotels, restaurants and attractions.
The launch of the new TripAdvisor Android Wear app follows the company’s launch of its Apple Watch app in April 2015 and Pebble smartwatch app last week.
“We’re excited to make TripAdvisor available to even more smartwatch users through the launch of our new Android Wear app,” said Adam Medros, senior vice president of global product at TripAdvisor. “Our app gives smartwatch users convenient access to the wisdom of millions of travellers and helps them find hidden gems nearby – whether it’s a great place to eat, stay or visit.”
TripAdvisor Android Wear app features recommendations for nearby restaurants, attractions and hotels, displays a list of top-rated points of interest based on the person-s location (using GPS) along with ratings and review titles to help them pick a great spot.
It also shows addresses, price range, hours of operation and distances of points of interest from the user. The app has a feature called “Saves” that allows travellers to save their favorite restaurants, attractions and hotels and view them later on another Android device or TripAdvisor.com.
It also allows travellers to easily access more information on their Android device about points of interest viewed on their smartwatch.
The TripAdvisor app is now available on Google Playworldwide.
