14 DAY TRIAL // Six months after the release of the mTrip Travel Guides for iPhone and iPod devices, the publisher is now announcing that the travel guides are also available for Google-powered Android.
Following positive feedback from travelers all over the world who are using the iPhone and iPod versions of the app, mTrip has decided to offer its travel guides to a rapid growing market, Android smartphones.
As more travelers start using smartphones to plan their trips, demand for travel apps is also on the rise.

Users can also share features such electronic postcards, or travel in augmented reality without an Internet connection or any roaming fees.
“Technology is evolving and so is the way we travel. Travelers are becoming more tech-savvy and smartphone apps for travel are becoming extremely relevant.
