Search specialist start-up rome2rio has released an Android version of its journey planner app.

The company said it responded to persistent demand from users to release Android-specific support.

Rome2rio chief executive Rod Cuthbert said “Like most companies active in the online travel space, we’re hearing more and more from our Android users that they want to access our product while they’re on the move, not just via the desktop.

“With so many development projects on our plate it took a little longer than we’d hoped to rollout Android support, but now we’ve done it we’re delighted with the reaction.”

Rome2rio cofounder Michael Cameron added: “This freshly minted Android app has a richer feature set than the existing iOS app, so now we need to get things in sync by rolling out an upgrade to our iOS offering.

“We have already had some great feedback from our Android users and a healthy number of early downloads.”
