Gogobot releases its first iOS travel app, with discovery tools and photo filters

October 19, 2011 | Online Travel

Gogobot released its much-anticipated mobile app - a tool for iPhone users to explore nearby areas, discover new restaurants, bars, activities, hotels and access itineraries created on the main site. It’s a beautiful trip planning tool in your pocket.

Gogobot is fast-becoming a much-loved, travel savvy community. Gogobot is a San Francisco based travel planning startup founded by MySpace’s former GM International Travis Katz and Ori Zaltzman, the former Chief Architect of Yahoo Boss, that opened up its public beta in November 2010 after raising $4 million from Battery Ventures.

Later this spring, Gogobot announced major partnerships with the top travel booking sites including Expedia, Kayak, Orbitz, Priceline and Hotels.com, gearing up Gogobot to be the #1 social platform for travel and wanderlust exploration. On Gogobot, users can search for travel recommendations from their friends via Twitter and Facebook and look at the top recommendations (e.g. London restaurants) from the entire Gogobot community. You can also post questions within the Gogobot community and out to friends on your social networks and filter travel results by who you’re following as opposed to the general Gogobot community.

Now the company released its much-anticipated mobile app - a tool for iPhone users to explore nearby areas, discover new restaurants, bars, activities, hotels and access itineraries created on the main site. It’s a beautiful trip planning tool in your pocket.
