TripAdvisor has launched an app for Android.

The app, available for free on Google Play, helps travellers find nearby things to do and accesses TripAdvisor traveller reviews and ratings of hotels, restaurants and attractions.

The launch follows the company’s release of its Apple Watch app in April last year 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.”

The app features recommendations for nearby restaurants, attractions and hotels, using GPS, along with ratings and review titles; point of interest details; the ability to save favourite restaurants, attractions and hotels and direct links to the phone, allowing travellers to easily access more information on their Android device.
