TripIt, an online travel itinerary and trip-planning service, has recently announced a free app for
Apple's iPhone and iPod touch. TripIt for iPhone and iPod touch displays a traveler’s detailed itinerary on the handset's screen, offering the user the ability to view their travel plans at any given time, via an intuitive interface.
With TripIt for
iPhone and iPod touch, travelers can use the popular service for organizing and sharing travel plans right on the iPhone. According to the company responsible for the app, users can access their TripIt itineraries, which can include travel plans from more than 500 booking sites, but also find the travel details they need, whether their iPhone is online, offline or in airplane mode, and even link to websites or call numbers from their itinerary.
“An iPhone app has been one of the top requests from TripIt travelers,” Gregg Brockway, co-founder and president, TripIt, commented. “It’s ideal for the frequent traveler, who can just forward their confirmation emails to plans@tripit.com and automatically get all their plans on their iPhone.”
“We built the TripIt for iPhone app using our TripIt API to make sure developers could easily build the same type of apps on their own,” Andy Denmark, co-founder and VP Development, TripIt, said. “In doing so, we further improved the API for our developer community.”
According to the folks at TripIt, creating such an app for iPhone and iPod touch users was possible thanks to the TripIt API (Application Programming Interface) used by over a hundred developers to create the next generation of travel services, and built on TripIt’s open itinerary platform.
