With Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube,
Google Play, and search, Google already has 5 out of 6 Most popular apps in
USA. But definitely it is not enough for Google, so it has extended the Android
based app Field Trip which is a big success in Android, over to iOS for both
iPad and iPhone. Google has Partnered with Cool Hunting, Zagat and various
other partners to provide you the most interesting, relevant and useful
information about the place you are currently visiting.
Tell the app your interests and
it will give you the information according to your interest. Googlerecently
have partnered with various companies as content partner, it includes
architecture and art magazine, Public Art Archive and Dezeen, and it also
allows you adjust the app so that you can get the relevant information
according to your interest and time availability. As you must have known that
only quality apps are added to the Apple store and as Apple Ceo says an
app developer always do his best to build the application so that an user
doesn’t have to face any bugs later. This app has proved itself quite useful,
if you are travelling to an unknown place you will find it very useful, it can
be your travel guide.
As this app has been released for
iOS after five months of its release for Android, this gap did allow a few
competitors to jump into this and “Wonderous” can do almost same as Field Trip
does, but it is more focussed on the particular route you might be following.
But Wanderous is undoubtedlyin tough position as Google has more efficient
resources to build great location and mapping apps, and to stock them with
unimaginable amount of data to provide great user experience.
According to Mehran Muslimi app expert, while
you are on a trip, you will have a good personal tour guide if your iPhone or
iPad has the new Field Trip app. It works quietly in background and senses your
current location after that it provides useful information about the place
around you with pop-up notifications,the information may include the local
history, best places to visit around you, best places to eat and have fun,best
places for shopping, etc… in one word it can be you personal tour guide. You
can call it as hyper local discovery tool. With this, a notification will not
be annoying for you anymore.
It also allows you to mark and
save the place you like as favorite, you can also capture your discoveries ad
personal memories and share them on social networks. One interesting feature
that all expert in app would like to tell you about this app is that, it can
detect if you are driving and then it will automatically talk about the
interesting places and experience instead of sending pop-up notifications.
Google has really worked hard to make it a great alternative of a personal tour
guide. Watch this video to get complete
feeling of what this app can offer you:
